Please tell me I'm crazy. I want a new distributor for my 1.9L digijet. Van Again has one for 300! I assume that comes with a hall sensor etc.

Does it make more sense to do this:

Buy this https://www.jbugs.com/product/025905205AD.html?utm...88QAvD_BwE

And install this https://www.vanagain.com/product/hall-sending-unit-for-80-85-vanagon-distributor-with-new-style-plug

What am I missing?

Talk to Bill @ Sparxwerks (www.sparxwerks.com), he rebuild the original Bosch distributors.

Do you really think you're getting a quality distributor for $75?

Good question. Has anyone on here risked it all and bought this dizzy from jbug?

If i want to pay over 400, I'll go this route. https://123ignition.com/product/vw-4-r-v-ie/

I'm glad there are people rebuilding classic parts for collectors. I'm sure he rebuilds a fine dizzy.

These distributors are for late carbureted 1.9L from Europe.

You can rebuild your distributor with a new hall sender it it has failed, either big and small connector style, that's the easy part, the vacuum can if bad is the problem.
