I'm sure this has been covered enough, BUT
My Car is: 1.8 liter / Carb'd etc etc... I've been running a VW (OLD) 010 distributor, these are popular w/ the vintage speed VW/Porsche crowd, and I've found the curve to work great w/ a VW, how 'bout a 914? Any Opinions? Lots of people like the 050, what are the figures compared to 009? I also have 009 I may try (parts are cheaper), but that gets mixed reviews. *listening* Attached image(s)

Any Opinions? the generic Bosch '009' sucks unless you are operating a stationary industrial power application for which they were designed. (even so, the early ones were of much better quality than what's available now ...) the only big issue with a 356 distributor is that #3 will probably be a few degrees retarded from the others, a la T-I VW, and for the same cooling fan issues. T-IV engines with the coaxial cooling fan don't need that. it won't hurt you much but it's bound to have some effect on smoothness and you may be leaving a fraction of a HP on the table. the 050 is a good match but i've heard parts are getting hard to find again. |

Okay-
Turns out I have an 050 dizzy. I took it out last summer after I bought the car (the distributor was pretty dirty) and thought it was some crappy bazillian 009. I never even cleaned it I just stuck in my nice 010 (in the pic). Had a cylinder not doing its share and tracked it to the points. Swapped the 010 dizzy yesterday for my very nice 009. YOU'RE right, they suck. I mean it's great for my truck, but are VW guys running these in drag engines?! The 010 is MUCH better, and I didnt notice a difference when I swapped it w/ the 050, so they must be comperable. Anyhow, # on it is: 9 230 081050 its made in some place called BRASILEIRA. . . Is there a german and Brazil 050? Is the German one better? The points are easy, where do I get a Cap & Rotor? The 010 cap/rotor fits, but aint right. TIA R O Attached image(s)

Damn this guy is on fire.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
Try Zims autotechnique in Beford Texas for the cap/rotor. Ask for Kurt and tell him Brad sent you. 1-800-356-2964 Cool to see you farting around with the car. B |
