Vacuum Advance Distributor for Classic VWs

This is the recommended distributor for all carburetors with a vacuum port
Vacuum advance distributors do not have the "flat spot" that 009 style distributors when accelerating
Distributor comes complete and ready to install
Make sure you read the instructions to ensure that you have the proper spark plug wire placement for the correct firing order when installing the cap on your new distributor
Installation instructions included

The brand new, SVDA or vacuum advance distributor is a quality built, high-temperature tested, 100% new construction distributor. Inside are performance bearings and the distributor includes a new cap, rotor, points and a condenser already installed and ready to go.

This is the distributor we recommend for virtually all classic VWs that have a vacuum port on the carburetor and a 34PICT 3 or larger carburetor. 30/31PICT carburetors do not pull enough vacuum to operate the advance diaphragm. The "009 style" distributors have a flat spot or a hesitation when accelerating. This vacuum advance distributor accelerates significantly more smoother. Most classic VW carburetors have a vacuum port and should use a vacuum advance distributor. Kadrons, Weber IDAs, and 48/51 EPCs do not have a vacuum port and should use a 009 style distributor.

Replacement Igntion Parts (same as stock 1971-1973 Beetle distributors like 0231167049)
Points - 01011
Condensor - 02054
Cap - 03010
Rotor - 04033

Please note: this distributor will not work with fuel injected engines or 30/31PICT and smaller carburetors.

Unless you have a tachometer (gauge), the distributor should be the only item connected to the negative (“1” or “-“) side of the ignition coil.

Distributor with Points

If your distributor only has one (most commonly green) wire, it has points and a condenser. Connect the wire from the condenser to the negative side of the coil.

Distributor with Electronic Ignition

Distributor Diagram for Electronic Ignition

If your distributor only has two wires (most commonly a black and a red wire) it has an electronic ignition. Connect the black wire from the electronic ignition to the negative side of the coil. The red wire from the electronic ignition will connect to the positive side (“15” or “+“) of the coil. Most importantly - the coil will have other black wires on the positive side which are “key hot” wires. It may look odd, but hooking up the black wire from the electronic ignition with the other black wires on the positive side of the coil will fry the electronic points.

(Note, the negative connection on the coil should never be connected to ground. Doing so will ground out the coil and it will not operate.)
