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! Hey Mark, You rode in my car and it has 40mm Webbers and an 050 distributor with the petronix. It seems to me like it runs pretty good. To tell you the truth I've never messed with it at all. I've got tune up parts (which were just a little harder to track down) but every time I think about changing them I look and they still look about a week old. I'm perfectly happy with my 050. Hmmm...sounds like the 050 is working for some. Coy, I've rode in you car, but I didn't notice some of the symptoms that Jake spoke of...what do you think?? You don't happen to know anything about your timing specs/curve? PM if you don't want to be verbally abused.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Thanks for your input Mark |
