Is there any chance the plug wires got swapped between when it last ran and now? Easy thing to check.

The plug wires were completely off the cap. I pulled the dizzy and took it apart to clean it all out. It's in excellent condition as are the trigger points. I verified the firing order and plug wire locations several times. 1-4-3-2 counter clockwise on the cap, left bank 1 and 2 from the rear, right bank 3 and 4 from the rear. I have it memorized.

Umm... my engine has it 1-4-3-2 CLOCKWISE on the cap, looking from the top of the cap. methinks this is a clue to your problem.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

We have a winner! Yes! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks! I knew it was me doing something stupid. The firing order is 1432 clockwise around the dizzy. I got it in my head backwards and that had to right dammit.

Of course I haven't tried it yet. But I know that's it. Took the fam to the Denver Nuggets game. 39 point win. That doesn't happen evey game for the Nugs!

Thanks to all. I'll be driving a topless 914 tomorrow! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/peelout.gif)

type 3 was D-jet...it was a 1.6L though. might have some translation issues between models, but in therory it should work fine. that is as long as the trigger point signal occurs on the same points as the 2.0L one. I have a 2.0 dizzy for not much. pm me if you need.

I might be interested in it Britt. Can you tell me the part number? Is the shaft and housing in good shape (no wobble)?

i have 2

1: the distributor that came with my car. no side-to-side wobble, small up-down movement. I rebuilt it myself, thinking my problems were in the dizzy, when it ended up being my FI system. I'll let it go real cheap.

2:this one is a rebuilt bosch dizzy from napa. I know the owners at NAPA, so they take care of me. same as the other one, no side movement in shaft, very little movement in Y-direction. Pretty much they are same...which surprised me. this one will go for a bit more. I ended up buying two dizzy's online. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)


both work fine.

No that the rain has stopped I went out and swapped the wires for cylinders 2 and 4 on the dizzy. She fired right up and purred like a kitten on all 4 cylinders. Thanks gang.

I never said that. Actually, the part number on mine leads me to believe that it is a 1.7 unit. I'd be amazed if the advance curve is the same. I'd like to pick up a spare 2.0 dizzy to do some foolin around.

Part numbers please. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) And pics wouldn't hurt.

cant read the orig number (looks the same, probably used a different case)
(B ) 0 231 169 011

i'll post pics in a minute. I need to take a nap before my 4-year old brother wakes up. Wears me out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

When you go out to take pics, get a better idea of the part numbers on that second unit. I can't figure out what that one is.

I know that. I should have been more specific. I can't find any reference to that particular Bosch part number. Brad Anders table doesn't list it at all.

I found the following:

73 RS Carrera distributor?
