Default Re: Help wanted for T distributor identification

Those distributors are modified Volksbuggen Bosch 009 made by Performance T Parts of Dickinson, Texas. The business died with the owner several years ago.


The good news is that you can buy points, condenser and coils etc for those anywhere that VW bug parts are sold. The points, condenser and coils etc made in Germany are excellent. The ones made in China, Vietnam, Singapore, India, Mexico and Hong Kong fail quickly.


You need a ballast resistor for 12 volt Bosch coils.

Also - my car has been converted to 12 volt. Should I use a ballasted coil, or put some resistance in the wire leading to the +ve side of the coil.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
