You could use a 009, but I wouldn't.
Is it still fuel injected or does it have carbs? _________________ Glenn

A bug alternator won't work either, you will need one made for the 914. I have seen people convert a GM alternator with a little work though. _________________ Beauty is in the eye of the key holder ... |

| It has been converted to carbs. What distributor would you suggest? |

Bosch 050 if you can find one. Mallory Unilite if you want the best and are willing to spend a few dollars. _________________ Glenn
