Type 3 Distributors

Post by s.unsworth » 20th February 2023 - 9:38am

Distributor on our 1972 Twin Carb. Automatic Variant is Dual Vacuum Part Number :

311 905 205 AA

I have not been able to find a Spare one anywhere.

I can find a : 311 905 205 AJ which has a Single Vacuum Unit.

Can I fit a Dual Vacuum Unit to the 311 905 205 AJ and it will work the same as the Original 311 905 205 AA ?

The Bosch Distributor Information List on the Samba includes my 311 905 205 AA with the Bosch Number : 0231 167 016 Can’t find 311 905 205 AJ on the list, or Bosch 0 231 146 113

Chances are it wont work exactly the same, but the difference will be so small you wont be able to tell.
