Is there a factory spec / parts sheet for refurbishing a OE distributor?
For instance an exploded diagram showing # of fiber or slider washers ect? Springs? Wear tolerance? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

The rebuild process is documented in the factory repair manual, parts (shims and fiber washers) are available through most VW parts suppliers. Biggest problem with original distributor is the vacuum cans are not available.
I switched to a 123, the issues are gone and I can tune my setup. |

I have to admit you guys are wearing me down on the 123 Distributor. I’m one of the few that doesn’t mind points. But given 123 gets rid of them and can handle D-jet triggering, it’s getting very tempting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
