For the best performance the Distributor change is a most. One of the three mention is your only option.

The 050 was used as a cheap replacement, back in the 80's, when the 022 was getting too old and needed rebuilding. The advance curve is not right for a 912 or Porsche engine. The best ones were made in Germany. Then Bosh out sourced it South American and then to China. The 050 will get you by. However, you will notice the difference with one of the recommended distributors.

I doubt that the Webers, originally, were setup for the 912. Just check the venturi's and see if they are 32's or 28's. 28's will mean that they are setup for VW bug engines not 912. If they are 32's then someone may have set them up for the 912/356 engine. Then it is just the air correction, emulsion tubes, main jets ant etc. The Weber setups have been gone over here and at the 912BBS extensively. You will just have to do a search for the setups.
