Restoration Services

The tach drive distributors used in Corvettes are very unique and therefore require special restoration techniques in order to provide long service life and performance. At T.I. Specialty, comprehensive research and years of experience will insure a properly restored distributor. Restoration details are based on GM reference material, NCRS records, and information obtained from the examination of many original components. In most cases, new old stock (NOS) or restored original GM/Delco parts are used for restoration purposes.
