    123 VW-r-v Distributor

    Ideally yes sparkywig , but I don't have the knowledge to get it right and my engine is running fine, so don't want to mess about, just thought it would fit and I'd notice the difference, may just keep it and fit it when I get another aircooled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
