Topic: Ebay warning..fake Boss 302 distributor seller

[10w30dna]

Just want to let you know about the OBVIOUS fake " Boss 302" distributor (s) this guy lists on Ebay. This guy has been reported to Ebay numerous times w/o results,so BEWARE! Can you spot the HUGE clue that this was never a Boss 302 distributor? Not the fact that the primary wire enters the housing in the wrong location......no, a LOT more obvious....check it out and give your findings here...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUSTANG-PARTS-1969-BOSS-302-DUAL-POINT-DISTRIBUTOR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem20af9a9748QQitemZ140385097544QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

So many different ways to fake things would would always be chasing those guys.  Of course, just like posting all the ways to identify a faked Boss, Shelby, GT.....  guides only educate the fakers on how to make a better product

Charles and I have talked about illustrating the judging sheets, to make it more of a restoration guide. That way we would have all the details, with pictures, of the correct/original parts. We'll see how that goes - no small project

I have caught at least one of the well know vendors selling fake parts as Boss 302 originals. Won't use the name or names here though.
