'68 type 1 distributer.. which one to get?
Hey Dubbers 
I recently had a mechanic look at my engine (coz i took it out, sprayed it and cleaned it) and when i did it all he mentioned that the distributer is
totally not the one i should have.
I have a 1300cc and the one in there has one that he said should be on a 1200cc...
Also the vacuum (is that what its called) connected to it is an old style, not mechanical.
Sorry for the vagueness, but im wondering how do i find the correct dist, or a nice (not too $$ aftermarket one) and also the vacuumm thing!
Cheers for any help,
Any questions and ill walk out and ahve a look now!

Hi Glenn,
The correct distributor depends on what carburetor You are using...
I am running a new Bosch SVDA single vacuum dual advance distributor , I had a new 009 bosch distributor before which is purely mechanical...
The SVDA distributor has made the world of difference to My car.... better economy, much faster acceleration...
so smooth .... unreal....
You can buy copies of the SVDA cheap in Australia at the moment.. I think Mick motors sells them plus other advertisers in VWA magazine.... has
them.
the 30/31 PICT carburetors don't have enough vacuum for the late model distributors with Vacuum...
the 009 mechanical only distributors were never used by VW on any of their cars... its just a cheap replacement..
cheers

mechanical only dizzys like 009s were used in the early splittys.
about the only place were they were really suited, an engine that had to be driven flat stick all the time.

It also depends on your application.
I have recently changed to a 009 dissy from a purely vacuum advance one in my Baja.
In an offroad situation when chugging along slowly this is what you want. The vacuum one used to completely advance as soon as you put your foot near
the accelerator, whereas the 009 doesn't until the revs are up. Exactly what you want for crawling up hills in an offroad car. I've found that the
hill climbing and general offroad ability of my car has improved since going to the full mechanical dissy.
Different horses for different courses I guess.
In your case I would probably try and go for the dual mechanical/vacuum advance dissy.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

I have just stripped down my 1963 1600 engine, it previously had a 009 (no vacuum) distributor and I have now fitted a vacuum advance (as it had
originally) and it seems to be running much better, same thing happened with a 1303 I had once, the 009 always seemed to be recommended but personally
I preferred the original, no flat spots and much better idling

What model carb is on your engine?
One of the new SVDA like Lee has would work well if its a 31 or 34pict carb
009s were widely used in the past only because they were cheap and were the only option, till recently noone manufactured vac advance dizzys for a
sane price

that is quite correct...
009 for a high revving racing engine with lightened flywheel etc
but for a road car the SVDA as originally fitted to VWs by Volkswagen are the best...
so smooth after a 009.... !!!
read the article on aircooled.net about the SVDA dissy...

Mmm thats a 1600 carby. probably a good chance your whole engine is a 1600
can you chuck a pic of it up
If you have an early vac only diz with it they will not play real nice together
So one of the new SVDA is exactly what it wants
think they are around the $100 now

009's work fine on several of my motors......including 3 of my 36hp cars !
I agree that the original SVDA is always the best option, but don't believe all the bad publicity re 009's

WHere do i source it from? I looked on classive vw but couldnt see one (am i looking in wrong place/name??)
Also... i want to update something every now and then.... but in a year im thinking of putting in twin carbies... is this something i really shouldnt
do with the svga and hence i should wait for the cash and do both at once??

Price varies on if you want electronic ignition or not
You can get them with Pertronix or compu-fire for $185
https://www.classicveedub.com.au/cvd_new/part_detail.aspx?parts_id=14558
https://www.classicveedub.com.au/cvd_new/part_detail.aspx?parts_id=14649
Or theyre only $66 if you just wanna stick with points
https://www.classicveedub.com.au/cvd_new/part_detail.aspx?parts_id=16768
some twin carbs need some work to operate with a vac advance dissy. well worth it though if you can find someone who will do it.
If your considering twin carbs in the future though u may be better off holding off and getting a 009 when you get the carbs and just leave your
existing dissy in there for now
still better than a 009

hmmmmm
well the twin carb is realistically more of a dream/wishlist thing... so ill prob update the diz sooner rather than later.
Would adding electronic ignition cause any issues compared to my current setup (eg if i change this is it then a amtter of changing something
else?)
Im assuming elect is just more advanced and more specific for timing and more reliable?
