Hi,
I'm rebuilding my engine and have discovered a few anomalies with the carburetor and distributor setup. The carbs will be another post, but the distributor is a non-vacuum advance model 231 178 009. This I believe is not the original. Would someone confirm what model should be fitted?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for the feedback. Will seek a replacement on the Wanted forum. The 009 will be flogged on ebay (without ref to T25s)!
Cheers Chris.

Keep the 009 in the spares box. At least a points dizzie will get you home when the Hall sensor packs in.
2ltr Aircooled CU with twin Solex's & originally a 009 dizzie, but now back to standard.
