It is indicated as in stock at Autopartswarehouse, though.While waiting for the tile grout to dry in my kitchen and being the curios type I called Auto Parts Warehouse this morning and was informed that they had none in stock and when he checked it said it is no longer available from A1 Cardone.

I'm using the new, Canadian-made Richporter.Do you happen to know the part# so people that need one can order the correct distributor. Seems to be some confusion in the description, The Richporter FD06 appears not to be the correct distributor to fit a Y-Block??Hoosier Hurricane (8/20/2013)

I can see why Cardone is running out. Most of the guys buying them are not turning in cores because they don't have one. Now I'm gonna hoard my cores so they will be as valuable as all the distributors you are going to buy. We'll both get rich!!!John I was joking before but it may be true, for you anyway...  HOARD THOSE CORES

Well, good news! The 30-2808 I ordered from Autozone actually came in. I tried ordering through the 800 number and they told me they couldn't get it, but when he checked through a store nearby he said they could order it. He transferred me to the store and they ordered and it actually got here in two days.

At the Advanced Auto Parts site it shows 13 available. Then when you select one and go to checkout it tells you there are none available. I ordered one from Summit and have been waiting over a month. Now they're saying they will have them on 9/3. I also have one ordered through Autozone, I'll find out tomorrow if they can get it. These are like gold!

I see Auto Zone only charges $10.00 core charge, Summit and APW want $30-40.

Hi all, this is my first post though I've been a member for awhile. I've learned a lot of from these forums and I'd like to start by thanking all of the regulars for sharing. I have a 56 Sunliner that I'm working on and have been lucky enough to have found Tim to rebuild my 292.
I too, am looking for a 30-2808 and have had a real problem finding one. I did find that O'Reilly's has a Richporter FD06 that supposedly is for a 64 f100 with a 292. Has anyone used one of these?Just did little more Net surfing.Advance Auto Parts shows 13 available updated 22 hours ago.Cheap-$45.00 plus $10.00 core.Its "ship to home" listed.You might want to check into that source also.If you google Cardone 30-2808 theres a site called "Frugal Mechanic" that lists available suppliers and you can order right from that site.

This article pretty much shows how to repair a well used distributor - the y-block version has a different shaft but all of the other parts of the two varieties pretty much interchange......... I believe that the most common y-block part will be the Autolite variety. Motorcraft bodies were used for the aftermarket service replacements - but I don't know about the Ford replacement parts. http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_0904_how_to_rebuild__autolite_motorcraft_distributors/viewall.htmlIf the "rebuilt" availability is drying up - a restoration of a salvaged post 1958 part may work out to be the most economical way to get what you need............

There are some differences in the two unit, the shafts are different in length being the top one has a shorter shaft on the bottom part of the case, not including the insert that looks like an allen wrench inserted but taller on the top end. The gear is much larger on the first ( top ) one as well. Just by looking at them the bodies look interchangeable thou.
