Show original supplier description

The Kuhltek Motorwerks 009 Distributor is a points-style ignition component specifically designed for Type 1 VW engines. This unit features a mechanical advance system, providing a performance upgrade for vehicles like the Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and early VW Bus models. It is also a popular choice for Dune Buggies, Sand Rails, and Trikes equipped with Volkswagen powerplants. This distributor offers 22 degrees of built-in advance, reaching full advance by 2600 RPM, making it suitable for most 1600cc to 2300cc Beetle-style engines. It comes complete with points, condenser, rotor, and cap already installed. For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to verify the point gap (factory recommended .016" to .020"), set the static timing between 7.5 to 10 degrees BTDC, and lubricate the distributor cam and rotor wick. Proper installation and tuning are key. The Pro Tech Tips suggest checking the point gap, setting static timing, and lubricating the distributor cam and rotor wick. When setting total timing with a light, ensure it does not exceed 28 to 32 degrees at 3,000+ RPM to prevent engine pinging or overheating.
