Would the GB include the /6 distributor? Anybody use one for a 2.4 / 2.7 / 3.0?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I also have a friend with a Fiat that would probably buy if the discount could apply.

Can.t answer for -6 but the discount for any other model would apply to the discount for three weeks Pete.

I will go for one. Just need to make sure that t his is the correct (and only) option for my 1974 2.0, completely stock???

Can someone explain the Bluetooth part? What does it do and how does it effect the motor or drive Ability?

It's so you can custom tune your advance curve rather than use the preset curves, something that could be useful with a non-stock motor or if you like fine tuning. If you're not the kind of person who is going to fiddle with your exact ignition timing and just want a more reliable, modern components it's really not necessary.

I found the manual for these and it has a list of the advance curve presets and comparable stock dizzys but...didn't see one listed for my stock 74 2.0L 205A dizzy. What to do?

The 205A is Bosch # 0231 174 011 with retard only throttle body for '74. Switch position B according to the install manual page I posted earlier.

[JeffBowlsby]

Aha! They used the Bosch PN. Muchas gracias...

OK, building up my wife's 71 1.7L motor to a 1.9L, keeping the stock D-jet system. I don't remember if the OEM distributor had a vacuum can on it or not ... guess I'd better locate it and take a peek.

I'm tentatively in, pending verification of which model # I'll need (vacuum option or not) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Placed my order this morning. Coupon code "914World" wasn't working last night but it is this morning.

Looking forward to dialing the curve to the "raped ape" setting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks again for getting this going, Rob.

So I have a 75 2.0 but with a TB from a 73, I guess its the same non-blue tooth model, I just select the proper setting depending on whether or not I have the advance, retard or both? I have both on mine....

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.

Whoops, that was me. I thought it would be helpful to put all the info up front. Your post above has made me rethink that practice. I should have at least PM'd you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) Sorry! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
