I have just obtained a modified engine from someone who lost interest in their project and sold the engine to me.
It has never been started.
It will be used mostly for casual driving in the country.
It has:
82 mm stroke
103 mm bore
cam for carbs
enlarged valves
I will use a 38/38 parallel carb for the first 1,000 miles to guarantee all cylinders are receiving equal fuel/air charge.
After 1,000 miles, I will change to 44IDF carbs (I was told 48IDF carbs could work).
But, I have not chosen a distributor. I do not want the modern computer controlled distributors. I would prefer one of the older and simpler SVDA designs of of VW or Bosch.
Since my driving is moderate with occasional brisk accelerations, my demands on the engine are simple. I suspect more than one distributor will work. Any suggestions?
My question is "What distributors would be good to use?"
Thank you.
