1975 1.8 with L-jet - Have had idle/vacuum issues and shop is telling me advance is not working. OEM replacements not quickly available, so they're suggesting a Permatune replacement. Any feedback on this unit? Thanks.
P.S. Shop works exclusively on vintage Porsche's. Owner is long-term 914 owner and 914 concours judge. |

I decided against the 123 for my L-Jet because of the lack of proper mapping and it doesn’t have the ability to read both advance and retard vacuum. I went with the Pertronix Ignitor II and couldn’t be happier with that decision.
But, I know vwnos can get you a fully restored distributor and has NOS vac cans: https://www.vwnos.com/022-905-205-ab The above link is your distributor with new everything. |
