Hello Bill, Okay, I am all for putting the original equipment back on the car. When I purchased the car the prior owner had done some strange things to the car. I from time to time still encounter them and when I can I rectify the problem. I figure the German engineers that designed the car were a lot smarter than me. So if I understand you correctly I am looking for a distributor specifically marked 113 905 205 M? How do you know if you see a used distributor at a swap meet if it is still viable? Now just because I am the curious sort and you appear to be a very knowledgeable fellow (grin) ...what is the problem with this carburetor / distributor setup? How does the performance of a centrifugal advance differ from that of a vacuum advance? take care, Greg
