Use it to replace a Bosch 009?
Sell it? Frame it? Use as desk art? What say you? |

If in good shape they are fine and worth some $$ selling.
Some like them better than the 009 for track applications. They were used on the 356. |

I tossed mine that came with a carb converted motor many years ago. Nobody wanted it ...

I have one on my '66 912 and one on one of my 914's (the one with webers, obviously). They have a better advance curve than 009's for just about anything but a small VW type 1. I'll accept it if you want to get rid of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks gentlemen, will likely hold on to it for now and see if I have a use before parting with it.
Appreciate the feedback. |

I have an Aluminum cased 050. Were there ever steel cased ones like the old 010 distributors? I ask because the mfg. quality isn't very good.

You got me curious so I grabbed a magnet and pulled my NOS 050 out and tested. Yep, it's steel. Purchased around 1989 and never used. I plan to include it in the fire sale at the end of my build but will entertain offers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
