Any heads up from anybody who knows where I could find one or two Bosch 050 distributors would be appreciated, I've been
looking for three or four days now with no luck. Thanks. |

There is a new replacement on the market that sells for under $200, is built on a Bosh frame with the retard on #3, and has a custom advance curve that is absolutely incredible. I can idle at 1200 RPMs and the advance curve has not hit (kicks at around 1500. So I can set it at TDC at idle and get 31 degrees at full advance. RSR0012. Contact CSP in California for details. (no, I am not affiliated with them, it's just the best solution going at the moment.

Morrie:
Can you use a Pertronix unit on this new distributor?? If so is it the same as the one I have on my 050? Thanks, Ron D

Morrie, who is CSP? Do they have a web site that you know of? I'm
putting my webers on this week end and would like to get a good dist soon, my current one and a couple spares are just worn out. Thanks, Jerome. |

Call Will Pringle at (626) 445-0108. He is the owner and operator of Classic and Speed Parts in Arcadia, California. There is a waiting list for these as they are a new product, but it will be worth it!
Will's website is stale and in the works of an overhaul. You can go see it at http://www.csp-usa.com for contact info and a feel for what he has. It is all very good quality stuff and Will is a big supporter of the 912 community. Tell him Morrie sent you! Best, Morrie in Texas

Thanks for the info Morrie, I installed my new Webers this weekend, the old 022 is just worn out. Dropped in an 009 I had just to get it running. I think I am going to like the Weber set up though will check on the other dist you mentioned today. Thanks.

Bosche kills 050 and 009
Word is Bosch has pulled the plug on the .050 and .009, leaving VW/Porsche folks in a lerch.
Two mechanic friends report that production of tune-up parts for these ditributors is also halted, at least temporarily. Might be a good idea to snatch up all the tune-up parts you can, as there is some uncertainty as to when and if they'll be back.

It's true on the 050 but the last official word I heard was that the 009 was continuing, unless something has changed in the last week or two.
