RE: [Chrysler300] 300H distributor





I am the culprit that send out Philbin Group contact. There is nothing like a distributor that is set up properly. You may have bad bushings that will effect points dwell, dried up grease on the points plate bearing that will compromise the vacuum advance, same grease on the centrifugal weights that can prevent full travel, weak springs on centrifugal weights, improper timing when vacuum advance kicks in and a bad vac advance. 
 
I would bet there are plenty of vac advances not working. Good thing, Philbin rebuilds them. 
 
And yes, the timing will change after the distributor is set up properly.
 
Their charge is very reasonable. Maybe Mike can tell us what their current charge is.

A couple of weeks ago, I brought up my 300H carb adjustment difficulties for advice and the fact that I had difficulty adjust ing the idle to a steady 650 as the engine would "run away" and go up to 900 rpm, .i.e., the timing seemed unstable at 650. 

As suggested by somone on this list, I sent the distributor to the Philbin Group where it received an overhaul. They did a spectacular job.  It came back while I was on vacation, but is now installed and it made a big difference, Idle speed around 650is now very stable. The engine runs better on the highway and on acceleration  through the gears.

Here is a curious thing: I very carefully punch marked the distributor base and the block before it left at the point where the timing was correct to help in installing it. Those marks were way off  after overhaul. Not that it  matters, but it is certainly ponderable as to the cause. It must be because the of breaker plate, new points etc. are a little different.
