356 Distributors

[badsix]

I have 2 distributors for my mildly mod. 58 356 1600 big bore, cam, 40 Weber's and exh.
#1 is a 231129022
#2 is a VJR BR 25
so the question is are they the same and or one better than the other.
Thanks Jay D.

The 0231 129 022 was used by Porsche, and is identical to the VJ4BR18, from 1958 to 1967. it has 32* advance in the distributor.

The VJ4BR25 was never used on any Porsche. It originally came on a 1959-60 VW Type 2 (Bus). It has only 22* at the distributor.

You want to use the "022".
