Hi David , thanks for the video , i will be rebuilding mine tomorrow,with this video playing along side as a guide.

[@steelavocado1]

about to dive into mine! couldnt figure out how to press out that little timing retainer thing at the bottom but I guess I now know! I just got a 1300 for 200 bucks and will be building it to a 15 or 1600 single port! Cant wait.

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

Very cool.

[@danielhurt2954]

Great video helped me with my 111-905-205T think that's the UK number for this dizzy 👍🏻

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

I used to do a lot of these but, now there is not much demand for them.

[@ocavant]

The “plugs” as you called them are typically vents so air can circulate inside the unit. This is important to mitigate any potential gasoline vapor getting inside and igniting due to the open spark of the points.

One of my shims has worn through, where can I buy new shims? I'm restoring a 009

[@mra2957]

David, great video 2 questions, what is your source for the fiber, shims and oil felt? What tools did you use for polishing? The final results are awesome.

I got the distributor parts from here: www.vwnos.com/ I just used a chrome polish on the case.

[@jamesputich]

is that a craftsman versa track rail you have hanging under you cabinet? if so, where did you get those small bins that you have hanging on it? I haven't seen those in any store and would like to add some to my wall

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

Yes. The small bins are from the gladiator series.

I have a 73 beetle and when I take the cap off I can push down on the rotor a bit and it springs back up. Are they spring loaded ?

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

The rotor itself has a spring tab to hold it in place. If the rotor is moving up and down significantly, then you may need a rebuild.

[@Hnsclmns]

How did you attach the ground wire. Easy to solder? Any tips?

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

Easy to solder, not too bad.

[@Hnsclmns]

The solder won’t stick. New groundwire keeps coming loopse.

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

Clean the area very well and then solder.

[@Musickfreakbrown]

Would this distributor be good for a 1641 with a 34 pict 3?

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

This would not work with a 1641 because of the vacuum requirement.

[@jonl8876]

Brown, you’re looking for a 0231-170-034 Bosch distributor.

[@mastermatt289]

Where do you get your distributor fiber shims from?

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

I got it from here. www.vwnos.com/
