Hello!
Will this distributor work better than a Bosch 009 in a 2.0 914 running dual Weber 44 IDFs with a mild cam?
Bosch # 0231 176 044
VW # 043 905 205H
A friend pulled it from a 914 that was runnig some sort of Pinto Progressive carb set up???
And do I REALLY REALLY need to lose the 009 dizzy?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Nate
Don't have my handy dandy part number reference thingy here. But I have been converted to the .009 Dizzy crazy. I came over the wall from the 050 dizzy dinasty. Actually like it better. Since most of my driving is done on the freeways @ over 3500 RPMS or at the Autocross where it is banging on the rev limiter. 009 dizzys accept the bosch rev limit rotors. 050 did not (at least mine didn't)
So you're running 009 on your 2.0 with carbs? Hmmm. Maybe I can stick with what I've got.
Hmmm.
What is the problem you are having with running an 009 other than everyone says the advance curve is wrong for the type 4?

I'm just trying to get it all dialed in. The RPM's come way up after about 10 minutes of running. The likely culprits are either the carbs or the dizzy.......... as far as I understand things anyhow. Cheers Nate |
Thanks SLITS! I agree that the RPM problem is more likely caused by the carbs. I need to dial them in! Do you know if any good directions for tuning a Weber 44 IDF?
But I'm still wondering if I should change out the dizzy and if that other one will be better than the 009.
Cheers

Somewhere on this site (as I remember..hah) there was a discussion of how to begin the initial setup on the carbs. I can try later to do a search and see if I can find it.
Other than that, somewhere I have a book on the setup of Webers, but it's not at the office with me.
Nate,
You might want to get a Weber Manual by Haynes. They have tune-up and rebuild explanations for most of the various Weber carb models. A tune up and sync is not difficult, it just requires a series of methodical steps.
Also you can visit AirCooled.net and check their tech articles regarding carb tuning.

GREAT!
Thanks for the links on carb tuning. I found a few good ones on aircooled.net
But I must recover my own thread.....
