Hey all. I have a friend here locally with a 1974 vw beetle with the type 1 engine.
He is looking for a distributor and asked me if an aftermarket Bosche 009 distributor or the factory fuel injection distributor used on the 1.7 and 2.0 914 engine would physically fit his engine.
I told him I would post this question here and try to help him out. Anyone know?
Full Version: 914 distributor fit a VW beetle type 1 engine?
If he still has the single carb 34pict3 setup, then he needs an SVDA distributor for that engine to run correctly. The 009 will leave a flatspot. The SVDA is the correct distributor for a single carb type1.

It fits, even the wasserboxer distributor fits.
