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. |
