123 Distributor Group Buy Thread, Replacement for NLA stock Dizzy's-Order 15 % Discount Options

[914_teener]

For those in the position of having a non-functional or failing distributor there is an alternative.
I ran into this issue while building a stock 2.0 motor for my car- while trying to source parts for what I thought was a functional stock distributor.
The link is here for information: http://123ignitionusa.com.
I talked to Ed ......he is based in Ohio and he said he would do group buy discounts if others were interested.

Details:

914 models are available in the following configurations:
1. Hardcoded advance curves with no vacuum, no bluetooth, with no output for D-Jet. Will work with engines that have carbs, L-Jet or aftermarket FI. Will not work with D-Jet.
2. Hardcoded advance curves with vacuum, no bluetooth, with no output for D-Jet Will work with engines that have carbs, L-Jet or aftermarket FI. Will not work with D-Jet.
3. Hardcoded advance curves with no vacuum, no bluetooth, with output for D-Jet This is the unit to choose for stock D-Jet users.
4. Custom bluetooth tunable advance curves with vacuum, with bluetooth, with no output for D-Jet. This is the best unit for carbs, L-Jet, aftermarket FI
5. Custom laptop tunable advance curves with vacuum, no bluetooth, with no output for D-Jet. Will work with engines that have carbs, L-Jet or aftermarket FI. Will not work with D-Jet.

Coupon Code to use at checkout is: 914world
Group Buy discount is 10% off retail on any product I offer. If there are more than 10 orders the discount becomes 15% and the additional 5% will be refunded to the cc of the first ten orders.

I.ll keep the thread bumped for a couple of weeks to measure or collect interest.

Here is the confirmed ...by me....orders that we have. Mark D. (McMark) was kind enough to edit some clarifications for the type of Dizzy to get. You are ultimately responsible...that way we all learn at least something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here is the count I have:

TJB/914 -1
914_teener-1
Philip W.-1
pvollma-1

Amphicar770-1

BeatNavy-1
nditiz1-1

CMONNETT-1

Bsherrard-1

olsib914-1

pete000-1 ( Met Pete at Luftenkult) I'll vouch for him.

Morrie-1


I count 12 if for interest only, so if true that would be 15% discount off list. This will be great comparing notes on performance.

914-teener,

Thanks for your confirmation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I was hoping someone would comment on my concerns. It was based on our expert 914 opinions (Bowlsby-Beat Navy-Etc-Etc) to select this combo.
Hey Bowlsby I also selected black spark plug wires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well...I don't know if I'm an "expert" but I have read a lot on the curves on the stock distrubutors. Last year I had gathered what I thought was a workable distributor that I could use for a 2.0 build that will use a 74 stock D-jet setup. Turns out the distributor parts are all worn out and two ....NLA. All the other components besides the MPS were workable. Jeff Bowlsby did rebuild the MPS and it has been tested.

So after doing a LOT of reading I had decided to contact this company about their product and talked to a few members that already have it.

I want everybody to know...and I don't know how it was done...but I didn't edit my first post in this thread making the recommendations. I thoroughly read through the brochure and did contact Ed personally with several phone calls. According to my notes and conversations this is the one for a 74 D-jet system. The vacuum port is optional.

Last year Brad Anders wanted to know where the curves were published and then did a pretty good addition to his website on the history and operation of the distributors. If you haven't read it, makes for a good understanding of the advance theory and why Porsche changed it through the years. Dave Darling also published a chart on the distributors on the Bird Board. As Murphy's law would have it...I had the 205B with a question mark on the reference table. So, unknown.

What I can tell you is, that if you have a 74 D-jet setup, I have purchased the same one you have. I started the thread to save a few bucks and help others whom might be enthusiasts like me struggling to find parts for these cars and still try to emulate the stock look or performance.

I think you'll be just fine.
