Re: [T3] Distributors, Mech/Vac Advance vs. 009

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I've a list of Type 3 components that are also fitted to Type 1 and
2.  Here's a snippet in text format, but the whole list is tabulated
in a Word 7 doc.  Is it true I can't attach this?  It's about 20K
and includes Type 4 details too (only 2K extra).  Dates are for Euro
spec cars, but most would still apply; US Supers (1600 engine)
didn't get discs until 72; 1302/03 are like 71 Supers, I think,
though they had a 1300 engine.

Text Sample:-
Part For 1500/1600 (T3)
Plugs All:- Bosch W8AC
Points >7/63:-   T1 8/60>2/64
 8/63>7/68 carb man:-   T1 2/64>7/68
 8/68>7/69 carb man:-   T1 1600 8/68>7/70
 8/69> and all auto/FI:-   T1 1600 8/70>
Condenser 2/64>7/69:-   T1 2/64>1/73
 8/69>:-          T2 8/70>1/73
Rotor arm  >7/63:-          T1 8/60>2/64
 8/63>7/68, 8/69> carb man, and all auto/FI:-             T1/2
2/64>7/68
 8/68>7/69 carb man:-  T1 8/68>
Distributor cap >7/63:-                    T1 8/60>2/64
 8/63>7/68, 8/69> carb man, and all auto/FI:-       T1/2 2/64>7/68
 8/68>7/69 carb man:- T1 8/68>

I got the information from a major parts distributor's catalogue.
The full list is about 2.5 pages long.  I've not got around to
putting it on the website yet, though.
