Bosch 911 distributor

[mikemenke]

I recently purchased a 1972 Porsche 911T. At some point during the history of this car, someone changed the distributor to a Bosch JFUD 6 0 231 169 008. Can anyone tell me what year or model Porsche this distributor is from? I am unable to determine what points to order for this distributor. Is there something else that I could replace this distributor with that would improve performance, while not proving too costly?

I agree with the pertonix. Set it once and forget it. My car use to run great than not so great than great again. Rip out the new points installed the pertronix and now she runs great all the time.

Nah...
You don't want that old non-original Bosch.
Tell you what, you pay shipping and I'll trade you for a Marreli that BELONGS there.....
