I picked up a 9 230 081 050 new Bosch distributor for $50 at the GAF swap meet today and just looking for some tuning tips. I am used to tuning FI motors with a vacum advance. I will most likely drop in a pertronix unit as well so not to mess with points.
What do I need to know about using this guy with a cabureted motor? Since this is a fully centrifigual distributor, what is the proper timing specs for a 1.8 with weber 40s? Do I set the timing at 3200 rpm for about 27 degrees and not worry about where the timing ends-up at a idle? Appreciate any tips, Mark |

Mark,
I love my 050. It woke my engine up big time (2056 w/ Dells)! Mine was new when I installed it so I don't know if you'll have the same luck curving it but, I found that when I set mine for 27 degrees advance at 3500 rpm it settles to about 7 degrees advance at 1000 rpm. I have never been able to find an advance curve to compare it to but after playing with it a little I got it pretty dialed. Of course the car had an 009 when I got it so anything is better than that! |
