Is Bosch Part Number 0 280 130 012 or Bosch Part Number 0 280 130 017 the correct part or is the correct part some other number?

017with a 270ohm resistor

Pelican Parts has or can order both for about $30 each.

Recent order from Pelican Parts resulted in 022-906-041-A-OEM and 0 280 130 012. According to the pbanders guide on 914 D-Jetronic Parts and Troubleshooting, the above part is for 2.0L 1974-1976 and the part should have been 0 280 130 017. Anybody know what is going on here?

Did you call PelicanParts?

You must use a 017 with the 73 2.0L Djet to have it idle along with a 270 ohm resistor.

Try Dave at German Parts & restoration as he surely has some.
