Just had 914 tuned up and mechanic said I need a new plate inside the distributer, it's getting loose; and because it's a twist in, screws, etc, don't help.Right now, he says I can drive on it a little more...

This 914 is a 1975, manufactured in 7/74 and has the 1.8L FI motor.

Can I get a replacement new, used, and where ?
Is there a better solution now that I am at this point ?
Is there a cleaver work-around ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jim

Are there any known upgrades for the distributer that might be compatible with the MSD 6AL. There's a MSD in the car but it was never hooked up; it was too much for my friendly neighborhood non-certified mech; and beyond my s&a

are you running points or an electronic ignition?

sometimes with a slightly worn distributor, the electronic ignition can help....

you can install a brand new aftermarket distributer, a Mallory unit with points start at about $150, then the next step would be the Mallory Unilite, for about $250
