Gonna replace my GT's distributor and would like to install a new Delco unit. Anyone know a good source for new ones?

Whatever distributor you end up buying, make sure it's the newer style.

Yeah I believe they are all the new style that I've seen. Just can't seem to find new units. Has the well finally run dry on those?

Appears to be an aftermarket. But anyway I was finally able to find a new ACDelco model.

Was it the newer style as well?

Should be arriving next week so I'll update when it shows up.

Well this purchase turned out to be a bust. The part arrived at the local O'Reilly and it was a remanufactured unit so I returned it on the spot. I've checked ebay, amazon, rock auto, summit racing, o'reilly's and autozone but no go. I think it's safe to say that brand new ACDelco distributors for our V6's are long gone at this point.

Why the need to buy a "brand new ACDelco distributor"? They're probably all the inferior old style anyway.

Get one of the superior newer style distributors, toss out the supplied crap ICM, install an ACDelco ICM, and you're good to go!
