i just picked up this 72 standard. i changed oil, timed, valves and now im working on the carb. it runs, and i think ive got it idling ok. im just wondering if this carb and dist are a good combo. ive got the h30/31 solex and a dist without any vacuum advance? (UFO looking thing). should i just try a different dist, or is this combo fine.

thanks for any help, sorry about the dumb questions.

The H30/31 works well with a 205M vacuum only or a 019 mechanical only distributor.

If your current distributor has no vacuum and has a aluminum body, it's a Bosch OO9. It will work, but there are better options.

The vacuum advance will work fine and they have them here on the SAMBA. Also look here and match up what you have engine and carb.
