Good morning.
Am a bit confused about the function of the trigger points in a 914 - 1.7 liter - 1972 Thought their only function was (is) to prevent engine overrun at more than 5700 rpm. This confusion comes from the fact that on the market I can buy Delcos without those points and are being advertised as suitable for a 914...? Anybody can shine light on this matter ? Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Yup, I think you are confusing rev limiting rotor with fuel injection trigger points. I believe the trigger point connection is three wires, IIRC (one ground, and one to fire each pair of injectors).
The Delcos distributor is probably intended for carbureted cars. I don't think trigger points are available to purchase new. The member that sells the adjustment tool is nordfisch (from Germany). |
