The way that VW part #s are set up, ALL VW distributors have the 
same digits #4-9, only the first 3 digits can change, indicating the 
kind of vehicle it was intended for, and the letter suffix, indicating 
the revision level.

The one you posted earlier was a 311 T dist, so it is a T dist for a 
type 3. I'll have to check the parts lists to see which year, etc that 
one is for. It's NOT a FI distributor, but you probably already knew 
that already.  ;-)

Which sounds like the drive gear is installed correctly in the case, 
which is a good sign.
