The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Hi, I'm doing an original restoration on my 66' Bug. Running the 1300cc and 30PICT1 carb. There is currently a 009 distributor on it. I have a 205 (vacuum adv) that was given to me. Which distributor did the 66' 1300cc come stock with from Germany? which vacuum adv dist is bet for the 30PICT/1300cc?...

Simple question....how far open is the butterfly valve supposed to open?

Straight 90 degrees up? Or is mostly open good enough?

I have a 66 bug, 1300cc, with a 30 pict 1 carb on it. After my tune up I was checking the choke and noticed the choke is able to open the butterfly about 70% open/vertical, but this little bit of resistance prevents the choke spring from allowing it to open the other 30%. Is this a concern? I think ...

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Hi,

I'm having a problem tightening my 009 distributor after conducting timing adjustment. It seems the clamp tightens down until both side touch and this still is not enough to hold it the distributor body from moving slightly while driving.

Thoughts?
