I need to get a set of points and condenser for a Bosch 050 dizzy. It looks like the correct points (Bosch 01 030) have been NLA for a long time and even old stock has dried up. 01 011 (I believe these are the same as used in most stock 914 dizzies) will work and are available. So which condenser to get? I'm assuming Bosch 02 054 (also stock 914 part) to match the points rather than 02 086 which was original for these centrifugal dizzies. I'm also guessing it really doesn't matter, but what use is having access to the world's greatest 914 brain trust if you don't use it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

why points?


The real question for @bbrock is why only temporarily? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Pro's

Super simple and I've never had a set fail without warning. Can't say that for modern electronics.

Vintage cool. The young un's have no idea what they are, what they do, or how to set them.

Even when they get worn, a good old ignition file puts them back in usable shape. Ignition files -- Anyone still have one? I do.

OEM original. Just saying for the guy that duplicated the inspection stamps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Con's

Ah . . . . forget it. We all know them.

What I'd really prefer is modern FI with direct coil on plug ignition but that doesn't seem to be available just yet.
