wrong distributor?
 

does anyone know the part number for the correct, (bosch) distributor for a 73, 911T w CIS and CDI?:confused:

Mine is 0-231-169-008.

The Porsche 72/73 Specs booklet, page 97, lists a Bosch 0.231.169.008 distributor for the 1973 911T model only, as Gogar says his is. It doesn't mention a difference for fuel systems, as '73 T can be either MFI or CIS, although it does list a Marelli alternative. I have a good Bosch 008 distributor available, if needed.

Here's the Specs booklet page:

FYI 003,004, and 005 are the MFI '72-73 distributors, with different rev limiting rotors.

008, 009, and 010 are the CIS with different advance curve (i'm guessing about that) but made for CIS, with different rev limiting rotors.

I found out what I know about it looking at old Early S Man threads and here's where that happened:
