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 |

mallory unilite = a billet body dizzy, with bearings instead of bushings, and uses an OPTICAL pickup instead of points. Very Accurate spark distribution
(your pertronix is a points eliminator.... it uses magnets and acts as a hall effects sensor. Optical uses infrared light and a photo pickup and a 'windowed' wheel to sense when to spark) crank fire uses a toothed wheel on the CRANK pulley, with a sensor looking at the wheel, again using the hall effects principle, it knows exactly where the crank is in its revolution, allowing a computer to know when to spark a certain cylinder. That is the very simplified laymans rundown... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) if its a slow day at work... hit up google (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
