Anybody can suggest me a new distributor for my 1977 injected beetle. The one that is on actually is a single vacuum one, but originaly, this was a double vacuum one.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

If money is of no concern and you wanted the best, get this.

That's for D-jet, Beetle's have L-jet and don't need the trigger points in the distributor, it's a dramatically different injection system.

For an L-jet Beetle I'd contact Bill at https://www.sparxwerks.com/

The genuine VW part that's especially made to match that engine in that car is still miles cheaper than any 123 even with a full rebuild, and you don't have to do any data entry or programming when you install it. Wink

NOt new, but you could possible disassemble, clean, and rebuild this... should be correct for your car.

Or send it to Sparksworks for a restoration, or see if they have one available that is already done.
