You searched for a part for your distributor. Many different distributors have been used over the years, in many cases they are interchangeable on other engines. The chance that your distributor is not what was installed by Volkswagen at the time is great. If you use our 'Distributor / ignition Tool', all available parts for your distributor are shown.
A distributor that can no longer be adjusted properly, or is no longer stable or has extreme play, indicates a worn distributor. You can dismantle your distributor and try to overhaul it, but once its housing is worn out, it is useless, a new distributor is the best solution.
Supplied with distributor cap, contact points, condenser and vacuum box, but without sealing ring, please add them if necessary.
Tuning data: 7.5 degrees before the top dead center at 800-950 rpm with strobe light and suction hose disconnected/closed.
Remember : Drop a few drops of engine oil on the felt on the shaft under the rotor, which ensures lubrication. Repeat this operation for each service.
