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 |

I'm sure I could get verbally abused here, but I really don't know much (which probably just seems obvious every time I write something here). I know for certain that it's an 050, because the 009 tune-up parts didn't fit.
I bought the car from a guy named Joe Sharp and he put the 050 in (replacing an 009 because he'd heard they had a better curve). I will see if I can find his Email address and ask if he still remembers, but it's been a long time now. He told me when I bought it that he used to frequent the Pelican board so you might do a search over there. I don't have a timing light, so I'm afraid I can't even tell you what it's timed at. How much could I potentially figure out with limited knowledge and equipment? I'd be happy to try & help. The only other 914 I've ever driven was my 1.7 and that ran good, but this thing runs great compared to it. Note exactly the kind of in depth analysis you were looking for, huh? Sorry I'm not any more help. |
