I talked to Ed Madak at 123 Ignition USA today and he has provided us with a discount code good for 914 World Members as follows:

"Hi Rick

Ed was very helpful directing me the the 123 distributor that will work best on my car.

I almost forgot to add that this discount code is good for any make and model car you have.

Update 4/28/23 - 10 members have purchased a 123 distributor - the 10% discount code will apply to everyone!

See: https://123ignitionusa.com/

Just called the number listed above and asked for Ed and was told wrong number. Checked to see if I dialed the correct number as listed and I did.

Just placed my order with ED @ 123 Distributor

-Nacho

Thanks Nacho I corrected it in the post

-Rick

Are you going with the programmable version ?

Yes Sir! Can’t wait to play with my new toy

Just ordered my 123 Bluetooth BT Tune+ 4-R-V-Por-IE

My 123 wireless programable distributor should arrive this week. I will continue to bump this thread- the Group Buy is good till May 6, 2023.

Just ordered my Bluetooth Programable 123 Distributor...!!
Keep the train rolling.

That's great-Thank you @NJ914! I hope other 123 distributor owners chime in and provide details on how this distributor improved their cars performance.

I had some questions but Ed was not able to call me back yet.

Does this work with a 2.0 with dual Webers or is it FI only?

I only saw L & D jet on their website.



Ed was able to get back with me and answered my questions.

The L jet for the 1.8 is the one to use with carbs.

ordered. He said we are about halfway to the 10% number.

Thats good news!

My 123 distributor (DJet Bluetooth) is due today and look to install/program this weekend. Have a 76 2.0 D-Jet.

If anyone can please share their programmed set up for a 76 2.0, it would be appreciated!!

My 123 stuff (L-Jet for Webers) was also due to arrive today and they finally got here, although the mail was about 5 hours late today for some reason.

Getting it at 5ish versus noon means it might not go on until Monday.

Anyway, it's here

@Nacho @Type47 @NJ914 Let us know when you get your 123 distributors installed and how they perform. I'm a couple of weeks away from putting mine in, still trying to sort out some D Jet problems (TPS MPS?)

Thanks

Wow, talk about good timing. I have my car at my mechanic's shop and he suggested I purchase one of these distributors for my carbed 3.0l six. We are trying to get the timing corrected. I will be buying one!

I was going to take mine in for final tuning and found the group buy. I was told that the tuner was going to want to put one on 1st thing, so it was also good timing.

Now I'm hoping that I won't have to get the final tuning at the shop.

I talked to Ed Madak at 123 Ignition USA today and we have had 4 members purchase a distributor. If we get to 10 he will apply the 10% discount code and refund 5% to the first 9 members.


Here is a link to the 2017 123 Distributor Group Buy, there are a lot of good comments in the thread- http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...8153&st=120

Wow...I started that thread. 2017 was a good year looking back.

For those still on the fence, of all the 914 parts "upgrades" I did, this one for the money was well worth the price.

It is getting much harder to find service parts, find good quality points,vaccum advance diaphrams ect.

I'd highly recommend this for a type IV engine over the stock dizzy.

Does anyone know where you can find the timing curves for specific engines? For example I was looking for a 911sc 3.0 engine.

Thanks for the input @914_teener

Contact iCarp on Pelican. He is the tech master for 123 Distributors in USA.

Only for the 6? I have 4 2.0L and am also looking for the curves
A good set of docs will seal the deal with me.

Less than 2 weeks left for the Group Buy Discount. We only have 4 members that have purchased the 123 so far-

I'm IN! Hoping we get 10 on board for this! Y'ALL COME!

Trying to get RickB45 in too, but he's on his way to Israel.......

Left msg. with Ed just now as I'll run my Weber's with my new top-end for a while but want to get my D-Jet running before end of year.....

GN

@Gatornapper-Thanks for your input! I'm going to keep bumping this GB as we get closer to the deadline.
-Rick

Talked to Ed - just completed order. With this last piece, my 914 will be almost perfect - when I get done!

GN

Ed at 123 Ignition USA updated the 914 Group Buy and we are now at 6 distributors-4 more purchases and we all get 10% off. My only interest in this GB is to pass on the the benefits of the 123 distributor and the 10% off.

Thanks

I just made my purchase this morning, so hopefully that makes 7 purchased.

Yes, Ed just confirmed we are at 7!

I'll admit, I'm tempted.

I'm running 2056 with EMPI 40 IDFs and Pertronix. I've been told before that an ignition upgrade is something I should consider but I don't know squat about it. Also, this has been a financially spendy couple of months for me so I'm trying to avoid any discretionary 3-4 digit expenses.

Take a look at the comments from the 2017 Group Buy http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...8153&st=120

Finally pulling the trigger on one of these. Guess that makes 8.

Will definately be purchasing one after my payday this friday.

If you do that will make 9!

I would probly get one ... but I dont know which one to get. I have stock 74 2.0 with 2 carbs ( yes I know George dont like that ) any recommendations ??

Hot ticket for carbed cars is the 1.8 distributor with vac advance, so probably the BT 1.8 version with vac. If you ever want the ability to go back to stock injection you'll need the Djet compatible version. Guessing the trigger wires could just be carefully capped and stowed.

Just ordered one for my build.

I've installed several of these and have never been disappointed.

Call Ed Madak @ 123 Ignition USA 440 668-8164. He helped me select the model I needed for my 2.0 D Jet

It was a bit tough for me to spend this much on a distributor, but I figured it was worth getting it to finally upgrade from my old 009 unit that I have been running for decades. Opted to go the full boat for the BT model, and the 10% discount is now being applied to orders.

Ed Madak at 123 Ignition USA just confirmed that we have 10 distributors sold and we all will recieve the 10% discount! The Group Buy still ends May 6, 2023.

Can someone post an image of what their curves look like for dual Webers?

maybe need to post that in a separate thread.

This is the last week of the Group Buy-

Wonder if this would work well on a 1.9l Vanagon .

Call Ed at 123 Ignition USA he should know-

Just installed my new programable 123 Distributor D-Jet this past weekend. Physical install and wiring went smoothly. Installed the app and was able to connect without issue.

Put the Cart before the Horse though as I don't have a Curve to use..

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 1976 D-Jet FI?
I believe the orig Dist. number is the 039-905-205A (or B)

Would REALLY like to fire it up this week...

I also need the curves for a 74 2.0L and 76 2.0L

I talked to Ed and he said to ask for the curves on the forums.

It's hard to spend that kind of money without knowing what it will take to get it to work better than stock. I don't have a lot of time for research (Trial and error) or worse more money.

I would assume the curves exist for all versions of 914 distributors.

Nditiz stated ICarp on Pelican has info for the 6 cylinder but I don't know about the 4 cylinder.
Didn't want to join the Pelican forum just to get the curves.
