Converting early distributor question

I am having a 2 liter six built from T specs to S p/c, bigger valves , DC 30 cams etc.
Changing Marelli distributor to Bosch…..but not sure I bought the correct one (of course)
Have a Bosch 0231 159 008 ( it has 1-2-3 in it)
Thanks for expertise.

The shaft of the distributor changed size for 72
What you have, if it fits, use it.

Dist

Thanks Bruce… dimensions look right.
May have misstated it has Petronix(? ).
There is an extensive thread going down a rabbit hole……but talks about tach working. Any issue there?

The 911T distributor curve is different from the 911S/911E curve. So either get the 006 or 007, or have yours recurved. Also, not sure of what flywheel is what, but put a red line at 30 degrees if yours is 911T or 914-6 (which would have had 35 degree marking).

It has a programable 1 2 3 distributor, make it whatever you want.

Think he corrected himself and went from 123 to Pertronix. 123 would not be old distributor with part number.

If you find that you need a distributor I have one out of my ‘75 that Jerry Woods just recurved. I went with a 1-2-3 after working with Icarp. I can send the specs on my Bosch if you’re interested.
