[fozworth]

I'm thinking of buying a genuine Mexican made Bosch vacume style dizzy for my early bay. Part number VW 043-905-205ZB ,are the still pretty good quality ?

Yes. Who's got those for sale? I thought production of those distributors ceased many years ago.

I managed to pic up one pretty much as new condition .Looks very well made .

Yup they are good. Don't advance as far as German parts. 28 degree.

But important bit was that one vac feed from drla operated the advance correctly. Done 25k miles good mpg.

What should I time it to on a tp1641 ? Is it 7 1/2 degrees Brechin?

7.5 btdc is idle timing at stock idle rpm. by all means check the timing at idle but you send svda at full advance. ie over 3000 rpm with the vac line blocked.

should be set to about 28-30. i'd personally try 30 take it for a blast some hills if it pinks.. drop it by 1
