Electroinc distributors for Volkswagon and Porsche cars and vans

Brand new vacuum-advance Distributor for Volkswagen Beetle, Ghia, Thing, Bus, Type I, II, III, IV, Porsche.

ONLY £80 NEW WITH 3 YEARS WARRANTY CLICK HERE TO BUY ON LINE

Distributor is a quality reproduction of the original vacuum-advance Bosch 0 231 170 034 / VW 043-905-205, federal model distributor that came stock from the factory on the 1974 VW Beetle with 1600 engine and manual transmission. Perfect for use with the 34PICT carburetor. This distributor requires a vacuum source from the carburetor or throttle body (when used with fuel injection). Uses standard Bosch distributor cap, rotor, etc.

This is a far better distributor to run in a stock air-cooled VW than a 009 centrifugal-advance distributor, which can cause the engine to run hotter and stumble on acceleration. No more infamous 009 "flat-spot" on take-off. You should get a little boost in fuel economy, too, compared with the 009.

Timing the 0231170034 N Distributor

Use a stroboscopic timing light. Timing should be set initially at 10° BTDC at 850-900 RPM. Maximum advance, at 3,200+ RPM, vacuum hose connected, with no load on engine (car sitting still), light throttle, should not exceed 42-45° BTDC.

Important: For proper operation of the distributor's vacuum advance, the vacuum source needs to be able to generate a minimum of 8 inches (200 mm) of Hg. If your engine is running a high-lift, long duration cam, with cam overlap or an aftermarket carburetor setup without an available vacuum source, this may not be the distributor for you.
