Okay 311 905 205F is a 66 dual carb dist, but my US Bosch listing shows that 
this should be a 0 231 137 005. By 67 this was a 0 231 137 015, so either 
someone's made a mistake, or Aust type 3s got different dists (or there were 
running changes in production.)

'66 type 3s got the same vac adv can (the -204) as I mentioned above. So these 
should be interchangable. BTW, I looked at the 204 I have here and it has 204 
in VERY small numbers on the bottom only. They are smaller than "normal," 
closer to the vac can than "normal," and easily overlooked. I missed them 
entirely when I first looked at it, and mine was NOS and clean.
