Treuhaft distributor

[steven smith2]

O.k. I posted under acces. but I need some vintage speed help. Picked up the Treuhaft 010 distr. and NEED some info. Anyone know what cap and rotor goes on this thing? Where can I get them? Please help!

They are the same as the old Mallory distributors. The Scat distributors are also the same.

The refer to it as an 010, so i assume it's has a similar curve and advance.

I have no idea where to get parts, but if you do find them, get a spare set or 2.

Scat has a "Spark Pack" for the Old Treuhaft distributors. I got mine form Anthony at ISP West. They usually have them listed on eBay for under $40.

Does anyone have any specs on these distributor?

according to the 1974 treuhaft catalog heres what they say:

The treuhaft type 010 distributor was developed as a direct replacement for the bosch 010, which became unavailable.
The performance characteristics of the truehaft 010 are equivalent to the Bosch with the exception of the camshaft angle, which was improved to extend the life of the coil.
This improvement also reduces point float for greater and more constant accuracy.
Proven in offroad, roadrace, and dragrace competition, the Treuhaft 010 distributor is ideal for any use.

New cam design- you can now use 35 degree dwell angle and still get 30,000volts at 8,500 RPM which will give you more reliability and longer life from your coil.

part #'s:

22-3306 distributor
22-3330 cap
22-3355 condenser
22-3371 points
22-3397 rotor

the above info was taken word for word from the 1974 catalog.

Kicking a dead horse here... While searching for spare parts for my nos Treuhaft 010 that I'm about to use I found that the cap, rotor and condenser are from a 1955 Willy's jeep 2.2 Autolite IAY series distributor. The points I found as replacements are Standard Bluestreak, part number MY201XP.

there were a number of distributors for this distributor over the years. besides Truehaft, there was Mallory, Bugspark and SCAT too. The tune up parts are all the same. Some of the units have dual points. On those the condenser is mounted to the exterior. On some of the singe points units the condenser mount screw is locked in place so that you could not easily modify your single points unit for dual points necessitating moving the condenser to the outside of the housing.

You can even install an Ignitor module in them (For a Unilite if memory serves).
