Hi all, I had a horrible revelation this weekend. I was adjusting the idle on my carbs and doing a general quick check up (oil, timing, etc). I decided to check on the dizzy's part number because every since I own the car I have been baffled at the lack of a vacumm cylinder. The part number included the digits "009", a few minues ago, while looking at some sites, I realised that I also have a Bosh 009 blue coil. In over a year of owning a T3, and hearing about 009s and blue coils (as the parts not to have in your T3), it never occurred to me to pay attention to what I have in my engine. So I regret to say that I have a 009 setup with stock dual solexes. Needless to say (when I have time away from an impending birth, renovations, and work) I will be looking for a t3 specific dizzy. Questions: If I go to a pick-n-pull place and I am lucky enough to find a T3 sitting there, how do I test the dizzy to make sure that it will be a bolt on purchase rather than a restore-bolt-on purchase? -- Petri 71 Notch (with an unexpected 009) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
