Here are a few testimonials from our customers: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a newly rebuilt '71 motor that I couldn't set the timing
correctly. I wrote to Jeff and he got back to me immediately. He
worked with me and gave me all kinds of insight. He identified my
distributor and the changes it's had over the years. It's hard to
guess someone elses work when you can't see it in front of you.
He directly nailed my (multiple) problems. When I got done today
going over his suggestions my car now starts and runs beautifully.
Everyone on this board praises him and now I see why. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jeff:
The recurved/rebuilt distributor arrived in Saturday’s (3-31) mail. My son Chris and I reinstalled it and “static timed” it early Sunday afternoon, and we were able to get in a short drive with him at the wheel, before taking him to Port Columbus for an evening flight back to college. When he hit the starter button, the engine caught almost immediately and settled into a purr that I haven’t heard from it in the 30+ years that I have owned the car. Chris has been driving seven years, and driving the Healey all that time, and he said that it was the absolute best that it ever has ever run since he has been driving it. I haven’t yet had my turn driving it since the distributor was reinstalled, but wanted to be prompt in thanking you for the rebuild. Wow!
Thanks,
Jerry E.
Randy, my son, just left to go back to the dorms. Got things set the way I like them being an old school racer, adjusted the SUs to a reasonably smooth idle and told the kid to go take for a test drive and tell me what you think. After about 20 minutes he comes back in the house and I ask "how did it go"? A kinda sheepish, forced back smile comes on his face and he nods and says "yes, its pretty spectacular. You, should take it for a drive". I promptly took him up on that offer and I was simply amazed! It was precisely the missing link this engine needed to fully realize its potential. The acceleration of this car reminds me of my hot rod Chevy station wagon I used for a tow vehicle. It had an amazing 327 with 11:1 pistons and a stock 3/4 ton truck cam in it with, of course the "double bump 2.02 intake valve" heads on it. Was an absolutely amazing tow vehicle! Anyway I come back from the test drive and that MGB reminded me of that neck snapping acceleration of that small block Chevy. It is not that far behind, if any! It is just simply amazing how much your distributor has made our engine come alive. Thanks!!! I know 0 - 60 is under 10 sec maybe even mid eights. We had our second autocross of the season yesterday. Once again, Randy, my son, won the FSP class. Based on our times from the last autocross to this one and also using our benchmark of last years national champion times we picked up 5 seconds and have about 4 to 5 more to go. Last years national champ is now driving the "X" class and he has a co driver that Randy regularly beats in the FSP class. We are going to have to pick up that extra time in the handling department, because now that we have a proper distributor there is simply no more that can be obtained from that engine , legally. Last autocross we were 10 seconds behind Kevin Wentzille ('05 FSP national champ) and this autocross we were only 5 seconds behind him. Only difference is your distributor on the engine. THANKS!

Hi Jeff,
Jeff, Thanks.
Finally, Canada Customs must have had the package in their warehouse
for a week or so but they did not charge any duties. I am truly
amazed at how good it looks, better than new for sure. I just cannot
believe that you found one shaft with lobes without pit marks in
that mess I sent you.
Hi Jeff Am I correct in my thoughts that the car seems to have a quicker Larry
Thanks for the excellent DM2 distributor. Its beautiful and I'm
a satisfied Alec L.
Just taking a moment to thank you for the rebuilt 25D. It's been in the shop for a while and I only found time to install it this weekend. It made quite a difference in my 80 LE's performance. It runs and idles much smoother and is more responsive on acceleration. I had thought a lot of my performance problems were from the Weber carb, but now convinced that much of it was weak spark. Thanks again.
Jeff,
JEFF-thanks for lightning quick turnaround, and the great work
on the distributor for my 68 tr250. Looks great polished, and install
took 15 minutes. the pertronix makes a HUGE difference. will be
sending you the distributor from my tr6 this winter for the same
treatment. great work at a great price.
I put on my newly re-curved dizzy from Jeff at Advanced distributors
today and the results are impressive. She was smooth before, but
now its as if someone flipped a switch. Much better response. Much
crisper feel. If you haven’t had your dizzy re-curved yet
I highly recommend getting it done. My car is acting like a kid
again.
As happy as I was last night, when I got great results by installing a new fuel filter, I'm absolutely amazed at the results of installing Jeff's dizzy. The car, which was "missing" on idle, and to some degree at higher revs, even after the fuel supply was cleared, started on the first try, and sounded GREAT instantly. The idle was not only smooth but it amazingly set itself at 900rpm. I took it around the block and it revs in the 3000 to 4000 range smoothly for the first time. What a difference. It sounds and drives better; even the temp has reduced slightly! I have it advanced at 15 degrees and it seems to like it there. Thanks to all of you for your tips and thanks to Jeff for his mastery in the field of distributor science! I finally have this car performing normally!!! As noted on the Forum, you saved the day. I took your advice and installed yours.... light years better, even after the fuel filter fiasco! Thanks again. I'll deal with the jet situation once I move and determine how lean I am. You really know what you're doing, sir. DD ’76 MGB
Having suspected an issue with a new 45d Eurospec, and after some very helpful email advice from Jeff. I boxed up the unit and shipped it off to Advanced. Well the unit is in, and without even checking the timing the car is running 100% better. The cost?? Damn reasonable! The free advice - priceless! It's guys like Jeff and other like him (you know who you are) that make this hobby what it is. THANK YOU JEFF!

Hi Jeff, I just wanted to say “thanks” for the magic you performed on my Lucas, the two Unilite, and the Ford Autolite. The Jag 4.2 seems very happy with it’s newly rebuilt Lucas running the show. I’ve “pushed” your name along to whomever will listen and knows the value of having your type worked performed. Merry Christmas ….Happy New Year to you and the family! Ken
Hey Jeff, the buddy called a while ago and is tickled shitless
with the way his (new ride ) runs!
Chuck
I'll bet Jeff would do a money back guarantee. If he won't I will.
His work and integrity is that good. He's one of the best things
that happened to my car during the restoration.
Jeff:
Customer recommended performance upgrades: Here's about as far as I'm ever going to go on mine, performance-wise - and I should get some decent results: Head and intake manifold P&P'd by Sean Brown; Carbs done by Hap (with K&N filters); Jeff Schlemmer scattering chicken entrails or whatever voodoo he does for dizzies; Datsun 5-speed conversion; seat heaters.
Thanks for your help regarding the choise of a rebuilder for my
distributor.
Didn't have time yesterday. This morning I got it in and timed.
Was a Sure has a lot more zip. No flat spots off the line. Sweet! You should contact Bob at Brittek and others about your service.
I Gary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, I installed the distributor this evening. Very easy. I adjusted
the timing to your specifications and took a short test drive. The
car performs beautifully. Acceleration is powerful and smooth. I
still have to fine-tune the idle and perhaps make small adjustments
to the carbs, but I don't think the car has run this well since
it was new. Dale ’74 TR6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, Thanks, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, Hope the little one is treating you well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, Just put the distributor in I had recurved by you and it runs great. What a difference! I have the timing set at 10 degrees before tdc, and will leave it there for now. I'll check it again when the weather gets a little nicer, (right now it is about 29 degrees and the "B" doesn't really like it) Thanks again.......Vic -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aloha Jeff, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chalk up one more for Jeff at "advanced distributors". Sent him a broken down spare dist that I had laying on the shelf and he brought it back to life. Repaired broken collar, bushing, cam, install new pertronix, new vac advance and recurve. It's a thing of beauty. The car runs absolutely perfect. And a flat spot in the throttle that has bugged me for a long time is gone. Thanks Jeff great service and great prices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to second the testimonials above having just received my "spare" distributor back from Jeff. The speed of the turn around, the visual quality of the work and the communication during the rebuild was great. Installation has been delayed due to wanting to put a g-meter in the car for a before and after test but I'm looking forward to the improvement.
K. Mott -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently received my dizzy back from Jeff. About ten days total time even with a newborn on the day he received it. Looking at the results with a timing light is wonderful, its rock steady. Idle and acceleration are much improved. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff- I have been out of town and came home to find my distributor
waiting for me. If it works half as well as it looks, I’ll
be one happy camper! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's hear it for Jeff - the Dizzy guy! I sent him my dizzy from my 69 B over two months ago during a rare warm spell in the weather. He rebuilt it and sent it back to me within a week. Alas, then the weather went in the toilet and between frigid cold temperatures and snow, I haven't had a chance til now to reinstall the dizzy and test it out. WOW - my car actually didn't run bad, before. But, now, it goes
like a stripped assed ape! Thanks, Jeff - I'll bet you thought I
perished by the wayside.
Thanks to Jeff's wonder dizzy my idle is down to 750 and smooth as silk. Prior to that any lower than 850 was asking for trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jeff, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Jeff- Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you the distributor is great! Not only does it look like new, but the car runs fantastic. (and that's only idling in the garage!) I can't wait to get it out on the road to try it out...we just need some rain to wash the salt off the roads yet! I have the initial timing set at 15 degrees BTDC like you recommended, and it really seems to like that. To tell you the truth, it ran well at zero degrees right off the bat! Thanks for your great work on the distributor! Tony Wadzinski ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, the mail came today and inside was the rebuilt 25D from Jeff.
It looks nothing like what I sent to him...which was in about 10
pieces.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff,OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't stand it any longer. Ate a little dinner and headed out to the garage and plugged in the dizzy. WOW!!!!!!! I have a great idle now with none of the pop pop from the exhaust that I used to have. Set timing to about 15 degrees at 1000 RPM. Using my advance timing light, noticed almost no advance just off throttle, and then, zoom! 32 degrees.! I'm pretty sure I can go up to about 34 degrees with no harm. Engine sounds great now and returns to a smooth idle with no popping at the exhaust. No "drift" at the timing marks now. I will tune it fully tomorrow and go out for a road test! You, Sir, are a GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!! Mike and Ronda ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff: Just wanted to let you know I got it all hooked up the other night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well everything I read on this site about Jeff Schlemmer's work is certainly true, and very helpful. Mine had not been touched in many years and Jeff's rebuild made a ton of difference. I'm very glad I sent mine off to him, his work is a real value! Thanks Jeff! Doug ’72 MGB ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff, All I can say is WOW! The car has never run so well! I have it
at around 11' BTDC, but I feel I still have some room to advance
it a bit. I'll have to go find a hill and test it out. The first
thing I noticed was the exhaust!! It's never sounded so good!! I
can't believe the difference it made.
