Probably a good buy, if not rebuild-able you should easily be able to get your money back. A good distributor will bring more than $300.00 by itself.

When I was growing up on the farm in SE Iowa in the late 60's to early 70's the grain elevator had a big gmc truck with a corn sheller mounted on it. It ran one of those v6's. They were rode hard and put away wet. I don't think they broke down too often. The engine would run at about 2500-3000 rpm when all the drives were engaged shelling ear corn.
Have you seen the video of them driving this around the track at the Showdown? Its' a hoot, they hit the mudpuddle with the windshield open and you'll actually taste the mud as it comes thru! Indescribable.
