Re: [vintagvw] Re: 34Pict-3 article.
The reason that a strong vacuum signal is needed is clearly shown by this chart; http://www.ratwell.com/technical/FAQ/images/DizzyCurvesVac.gif You can see that it requires more vacuum to get more advance, the problem appears to be even greater with the 043 SVDA dizzy. I looks like it needs more vacuum, and gives less advance for the same amount of vacuum, than the other stock dizzys. You should measure your vacuum signal strength and check your advance with a stroboscopic timing light to get the whole picture on what you've really got going on there. The next chart shows the mechanical advance curve of those dizzys; http://www.ratwell.com/technical/FAQ/images/DizzyCurves.gif In this chart, the 043 SVDA dizzy appears to need more rpm's to give as much advance as the stock dizzys. This is the currently available stock Mexican dizzy. This is also sold by aircooled.net, but with their own proprietary modifications for improved advance operation. I bought one from John at Aircooled.net (with the Pertronix module already installed) a few years ago for a friend's Beetle, it was a great improvement over the 009 that was paired-up with a 34PICT-3 carb.

I bet it's running more or less as a 009 dizzy and I think I'll just get me a new 009 and put on there and keep my SVDA for something with a 34-PICT-3. I never thought I'd say I liked a 34-PICT-3, but with the SVDA, it's my favourite combo. There is an electronic igntion you can get called Accel I believe it is. It's the cheaper chinese version of a Pertonix. They will not work stock in an SVDA due to the entire stack of the trigger disc and rotor being too tall causing the cap to not sit flush on the distributor. I did manage to make it work though. I took apart an old junk distributor and put it in my lathe. Then I put the rotor on the end and using the lathe took off about 3/32 off the bottom of the rotor. The entire stack fits nicely inside the SVDA and so far so good! :) NQ - Original Message - From: Mike B mbucch...@charter.net To: vintagvw@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 9:43 PM Subject: Re: [vintagvw] Re: 34Pict-3 article. The other reason that many volks use the 010, 019 and 009 is due to running aftermarket dual carb setups. These setups have no central vacuum source for both carbs. The 009 works better on this setup than most any vacuum advance unit would. The factory dual carb setups like late bus and earlier type 3 and 4 had a large diameter balance tube that ran between the intake manifolds to even out the gas pulsation due to the boxer design. But the vacuum signal needs to come from the carb vacuum port that's tapped off near the throttle plate level for the advance diaphragm. If you just tap vacuum from one carb, the strength of the vacuum signal isn't as strong as the centrally-mounted single carb setup. Some people recommend running a small diameter vacuum line between both car ports and teeing off to the distributor advance. The retard port on a DVDA would be even harder to correctly hook-up as most aftermarket dual carbs have no port for this specifically-timed vacuum signal. Hooking up the retard port on the dizzy is only necessary for reduced emissions on deceleration, so most people don't use this anyway. Mike B.

They worked better than a non-functional distributor, but were a compromise at best. -- Visit the VintagVW archives at http://mail-archive.com/vintagvw@googlegroups.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups VintagVW - Air Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List group.

Re: [vintagvw] 1600DP running issues
If you need an almost new carb I have one for sale with air cleaner $90 it's yours (hers). The carb was on the car for about 1 month. Comes with braided hose. :) Sent from my iPhone On Dec 21, 2012, at 1:19 PM, bill may vwb...@san.rr.com wrote: 009 does not play well with a 34 pict-3 carb.

The car had just been serviced bya local shop to pass our local emissions testing(Aircare or as I like to call it airscare!). Soon after she purchased it it started suffering some running issues. It has a replacement Empi 34 pict 3 I believe and what appears to be a 009 Distributor(What I remember from my last 1600dp. Mind you I haven't played with one since about 2006...) Anyways the issues that were going on it was stalling when it was cold. It would fire up fine and she would take off and as soon as she would return to idle it would stall. Which sounds like a total carb icing issue. To address that it got a new intake manifold and a new muffler. Which didn't fix it. Also it started developing a backfire through the carb on shut down. And hard to start when warm. also a intermittant misfire mid range in the revs. The disty cap is nearly new. Rotor looks okay.. Certainly not new a bit grungy but not totally burned .. Its had plugs, wires etc. When I was looking at the aircare sheet . The hydrocarbons were high, and I'm certain its running rich. My gut feeling on this one is that the carb is way out of adjustment and that the timing is way out to lunch. I checked it for exhaust leaks and none were apparent... Any thoughts? Its been a long time since I played with this stuff And well my next venture is with a stroker so thats bound to be entertaining..

[vintagvw] Old radio on eBay
Volks, Just noticed that there’s a Blaupunkt Wolfsburg III up for auction on www.ebay.de . It has the VW part number on it and the round black knobs for the 1968-on standard dash – round and with little VWs on them. Seller says it works. The Blaupunkt Wolfsburg was the VW version of the Blaupunkt Bremen: it had only AM and Long Wave bands (no FM, etc.). In the USA, the only thing you can find on long wave (250-500 Khz) is Aviation Weather Service, which is still a bit interesting (if you enjoy getting altimeter settings while you’re driving). But it’s authentic and historic. Just in case there are any more authenticity fanatics out there … Bert Knupp __n|_ °(_)º (ô\_|_/ô) U°°U Polizeikäfer 70 -- Visit the VintagVW archives at http://mail-archive.com/vintagvw@googlegroups.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups VintagVW - Air Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List group.

RE: [vintagvw] Old radio on eBay
Erin and all, Nope - but these are nice. Open www.ebay.de, then search on Blaupunkt Wolfsburg III. I actually found four of them currently offered. Now that nearly every German seller is accepting PayPal, payment has become super-simple. The dollar-to-euro exchange rates they offer are very good, too.
