Bosch 009 Distributor

009 distributor for ignition.

The 009 distributor was originally developed by Porsche and is intended for the Porsche 912. If a non-original central carburetor or side carburetors are used, the distributor must also be adapted, because the vacuum required for advance is no longer the same as with an original carburetor.

The 009 distributor works only with centrifugal advance, which eliminates the need for vacuum advance. The centrifugal advance works faster than the original distributor advance and is therefore better suited to faster engines.

The 009 has a maximum advance of 21 to 24 degrees at 3600 rpm and is supplied with contact points, rotor, condenser and a bakelite distributor cap; the seal around the ignition base is not included, these are available separately in our shop.

Attention! When fitting a 009 distributor, two things must be observed:

1. Disconnect the idle connection on your carburetor.
2. The spark plug wires on the 009 must all be moved one position to the right compared to the original distributor.
