Greg, go to www.thesamba.com and look for a distributor on there. There are always lots of them for sale; it is the main center of all things VW. :-) If you think the flat spot is bad with your current carb, try using a 34pict with that 009 dizzy!! REALLY bad! Courtney

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 --- On Tue, 11/18/08, Bill May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Bill May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [vintagvw] 1600cc Single Port To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Air-Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 12:38 AM that is your problem- 30/31 pict with 009 non vacuum dist. try a 205M dist.(large vacuum can) that was used on 66/67 beetles. _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list [email protected] http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
