 |

Hi all,
I have a 2L 1977 dual carb camper.
My distributor has a lot of vertical play in it and it's generally a bit worn.
The distributor is the original - 0 231 168 005 Bosch, which I understand is the correct one for my van.
I know I can get shims, etc from the US to re-build mine, however, that's going to cost up to $70 for the part and postage. I'm investigating what would be the closest NEW, off the shelf distributor that I could buy that would have a similar profile of vac advance, etc?
I know there's plenty out there that will fit and work, but I want something as close as possible to the original. Or maybe somebody knows of somewhere that sells them re-built?
Thanks! |

Thanks for the reply! 
Any idea which of the pertronix dizzy would be the most similar? |

These guys claim to match the stock profile you are after. In fact they have 16 position selector that lets you match a range of profiles:

But at a price: AUD550  |
