For the vacuum advance that goes on the dual (mech/vac) advance dists, you need a vacuum source that gives you vacuum when you want advance. You want advance when the speed is high and the load is low. At idle you want NO vac adv. If you think about it, or even measure it, you will find that your manifold vac is high at idle, so this would give you advance at idle that would go away when cruising, which is EXACTLY the opposite to what you want. > Anyways I removed my pertronix from my 009 to use in my stock fi > dizzy. FITS. Good but I still need to get a rotor for it. The one that > was on the dizzy doesn't seem to be the right one.

Or at least what year to look up. My dizzy pn is: > 311 905 205 L. This is a 68 FI dist. All FI dists use the same rotor. The one you have is probably right. Yes, it probably rubs the Pertronix a bit. > Also whats supposed to be in the pdsit air cleaner? Is it an oil bath? > I opened mine up and found nothing.

And the pn isn't a type 3 > unit maybe a t4 its: 041.129.611.3. This is a Brazilian part #. The ones I have seen use a paper filter. I know that Berg carrys the filters. This probably means that your carbs setup is all part of a Brazilian made set, rather than being actual parts off a 67 engine. I don't know what differences there might be, if any (other than the lack of the oil bath.) - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
