Does anyone know anything about the 050 distributor?

How do they compare to the 009?

i know that the 050 is suppose to be better for the t4 motor but have yet to see one in the flesh.

I have an 050 and I believe it is slightly better than the 009 only thing is they are almost impossible to get rotors and caps for

After having both on the same engine I would have to say that the 009 is way better.

With the 009 my 31/10.5/15 mud tyres will actually spin on the bitumen, something the car wouldn't do before with the 050.

Thanks for your help Moose.

I can't wait to try it on dirt now!

i am curious to try an 050 as i have been told they will be better for my t4

if anyone has one available, send me a u2u.
i will be running with a compufire kit, so points, rotor and cap are not required

cheers

i used to run an 050 in my beetle both with my 1641 and 1916, never had any problems.
i was informed they are better than the 009

009 better on T4 and not as responsive with smaller motors.JVLRacing

i think that should read 'smaller rod ratio'

according to my reading, they will be more responsive on a t4

i have managed to score one, so i may have the dyno data to show the difference, if any.

might be a while coming though....

everything else on my ride has taken a while, so i imagine this will be the same

I have had Jake Raby explain that the 050 has a better advance curve for type 4 motors than the 009 dizzy.
