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 |
