I bought a fuel distributor from Jonathon at Blueridge about 5 weeks ago....have yet to receive it....and no response to my emails either.

Anyone know if he is still in business?

Thanks for the suggestions, but a search of that user name didn't find any results, and when I tried to email/post him through the link on his webpage, I keep getting an error message. Last time I spoke to him,...he sounded frustrated....was supposedly in the process of moving his business....said my fuel distributor had been in the box ready to mail for a week or two....but just had not had time to ship it....that was over a month ago....now no response to my emails.

That's not pulling anything up either. .....I am doing a "Search" and inserting his user ID......no results.

I know Johnathan personally. He will deliver. Great guy met him when he was a kid, and have watched him grow up mechanically. Give him a chance to get back to you.

I did catch him by phone yesterday.......He said it had been shipped.....and...it did in fact show up yesterday afternoon. No Apology either on the phone or by email for it taking 6 weeks....that seemed a bit strange....but....my sense is that he is overtaxed right now for some reason.....I was just not a priority apparently.

Hopefully the fuel distributor is a good one and gets my car running and saleable before my homeowner's association has it towed off.

He is young, but good at his craft, followed by knowing what he is looking at. As we all know young means lots of stuff always happening, albeit relationships, family, GIRLS...
Johnathan is a nice guy regardless, as far as i know anyway, and has always impressed me with his skills.
OK JOHNATHAN IS THAT ENOUGH????

NOW ABOUT THAT CONVERSION ON MY TEAL 560 COUPE? You know which one, don't you?

LOL

Glad you got your parts.
