Which dist? If it is the "L" dist, then this is a very good choice, but all the 
parts need to be in good shape so that everything's working. You should not 
connect the vacuum advance, however, the vacuum pickoff from your dual carbs 
works in the wrong direction.

If it's the L dist, time it to the leftmost of the 4 marks. That's TDC, and is 
the largest of the 4 marks.

I think they are still available from Bosch. You will be better off just 
starting and staying with genuine Bosch, even if it's a little hard to find. 
You don't have to find a VW shop; just find a foreign car shop that carries 
Bosch. They can get the parts for you.

If that doesn't pan out, you can contact aircooled.net or me.
