hello all,
i have a vacume advance dizzy believed to be out of a late 70's manual beetle,i'm putting it in a stock 1600tp with a 34 pict-3
what should i set timing at and should i disconnect the vac hose and plug it or leave it connected
heres the numbers stamped on the side

bosch / 0 231 168 001
vw/ 043 905 205 B
thanks again
leave the hose where it is and as for and set the points gap at 16 though and start the timing at 7 though from then on its a matter of fuel and timing
good luck.if you block the advance hose you will never get it to run
👍👍😂🙅🥷😬🤓
Yes,
leave the vacuum hose connected for the advance...
that should work better than the 009 distributor...
points 016" or .4mm Gap
timing should be about 7 1/2 degrees BTDC...
now some books say hose OFF...
to set the timing with a strobe lamp...
this may be OK for idling???
