Bosch Style 009 Distributor

High-quality aftermarket 009-style distributor
100% new construction with performance bearings
Includes cap, rotor, points, and condenser pre-installed
Centrifugal (mechanical) advance design

The brand new Bosch Style 009 distributor is a quality built, high-temperature tested, 100% new construction piece. Inside are performance bearings and the distributor includes a new cap, rotor, points and a condenser already installed and ready to go! This is an aftermarket 009 style, centrifugal (or mechanical) advance distributor. It is not a Bosch made unit as Bosch has discontinued their 009. The distributor may come with a red or a black cap depending on current stock. The color of the cap makes no difference to the operation. Product fits all carbureted VW air-cooled engines.

Please note: this distributor will not work with fuel injected engines.

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.)
