(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I posted earlier in the week about my 009 distributor woes. I took it apart and it was filled with crud. I did not completely break it down but I did clean it the best I could.I found that the weights were stuck and did not move freely.They still bind a little and I am not sure if that is acceptable. Also I see that there is only 1 spring inside. Is that the way it is supposed to be. What should I look for to make it work properly. I already know that these are not the best but if I can optimize it I will for now.

your wasting your time. cant get the parts.
Buy/borrow/another distributor. Lemme think. Try here, on this site. two guys William Harris and/or partsman There are a few others around I need to try and remember. One of these guys has a spare distributor. Where do you work? School Street Auto in Acton MA will have all the distributors you could possibly want. Bill Wollcott (vw (at) charter (dot) net) will have what you need for sure. He is in rutland MA, near Worcester Big stock pile of VW parts. Hmmmm Look up gfulcher here....he lives in SFC now, but he has his parts here, in MA at a friends place....he might have one. Try them...I will keep thinking Rich |
