Ok, just picked up my refurbed distributer from the FLAPS. I've got a question on the part number that is imprinted on the distributer. I have a '75 2.0L right now, just for information.

Here's what I got from the FLAPS...Is this one ok to use?
0 231 172 009
311 905 205 AE

Isn't that 311 number from a type 3 engine?

By the way, this thing came with new points, condenser and FI trigger points. The vacuum canister is just repainted silver, cheesy looking.

Comparing it to my old dizzy, the shaft is nice and tight, with no slop....man, I didn't realize my old one was so bad....

I finally found some information...


Type 3 1972 * 1600 Fuel Injected Manual Trans

Note: Bosch shows this distributor to be installed through April 1972 which may be incorrect. VW shows this distributor to be installed throughout the 1972 model year in North America.

Distributor: VW 311-905-205AE, Bosch 0231 172 009
Replacement: Same
Points: 01 011
Condensor: 02 054
Rotor: 04 006
Cap: 03 001
Coil: 00 015 (Blue Coil 00 012)
Vacuum Can: 07 100
FI Trigger Points Assembly: 1230 090 000
Ignition Wires: 09 004
Spark Plug: W8AC
Timing Set At: 5deg BTDC @ 800-950rpm w/strobe w/both vacuum hoses disconnected and plugged. When finished with timing and hoses plugged in, possible readjustment of idle to 850-900rpm may be needed.

Advance/Retard Range: Vacuum: 8-12deg Adv, 9-10deg Ret; Centrifugal: 11-16deg @ 1800rpm, 19-23deg @ 4000rpm


Looks like I should be bringing it back tomorrow after work and getting another....for the price, I doubt they recurved it.
