Some of us collect weird things, I just happen to collect old dual point distributors. I have them from manufacturers such as Accel, Mallory, Weber, Echlin, Cragar, Mr. Gasket, MSD and others. I curently have about 60 of them for engines such as small block Ford, FE Ford, 351 C Ford, 351 W Ford, small and big block Chevy, 348-409 Chevy and others. I really like the tach drive Accel and Mallory units, especially the super duty Accels with the support bearing on top. I have MSD boxes triggered by dual point distributors in everything I own.
Cool collection. I have an odd love for old churchkeys and beer bottle openers. I just pick them up once in a while, havent gone crazy with it............yet.
I've been a packrat for those worthless old Chevy 409 engines and related parts for MANY years. Don't know why I keep that heavy old iron around! Also have quite a bit of Cities Service Oil Company stuff and WAY too many car magazines, books and manuals. Max
Lionel and O guage trains...I love them. Been into them my entire life. The wife even likes them and most importantly my 5 year old daughter is as nuts as I am for them. Anybody else into trains on here.. Nice collection of distibutors...Do you have one for a Lincoln 317 if not I know where you can get one.

anything I can get my grubby little hands on....... old tools, toolboxes, bikes, odd ball stuff that I don't evenknow what it is
I collect beer tabs in the bottom of my rolling tool cart. When I build a car, I put all my tabs, lids, or whatever down there. When I finish a car, I always like to see how many beers I drank to finish the car. Since I started counting, I build slower but drink more. Maybe I should collect something else...
I have a Lionel layout up in my attic. Started out with HO as a kid, then N, then O when I got my dads old Lionel stuff. I also use to collect slot cars in all scales. I had over 500 but sold most of them a few years ago.
