    Have you heard this? @10:24
    So I was told the metal vacuum tube going from the distributor to the carburetor is designed like they are because small amounts of gasoline can come out and if it’s not looped or angled upwards, like yours, it will leak down into the distributor.
    With that said, I’ve, too, just run a hose straight to the carburetor

    • @VWBRUCE

      Gary, yes, the metal vacuum tube does what you described. Running a straight rubber vacuum hose, I've never had any issues with gas in my distributor. Some of my friends run a straight hose as well with no problems. Your choice. Thanks for the comment.
      Happy Fahrvergnugen 👍‼️

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  3 года назад +2

      Hi Butler. So sorry it took this long getting back to you. I have had internet issues. The green wire from the distributor condenser goes to the positive side of the coil. That is the right side of the coil. Happy Fahrvergnugen!

    • @mewithoutYou52
      @mewithoutYou52 4 месяца назад

      Are you sure this is true? The distributor I just got said that for distributors with a single wire (those with condensers) the wire goes to the negative terminal on the coil.

    It looks like my distributor is off 180 degrees...engine runs fine...gonna change carb to a progressive 32/36 & a sdva distributor...should I just line it up the same way when I remove my old distributor ?

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  Год назад

      Yes. It should run fine.
      The distributor drive gear was installed 180° off when the engine was assembled.

    thank you Mr. Bruce !! I'm gonna have to try this on saturday, cos i took out my distributor last weekend to clean it and now it won't start anymore and it back fired too, and also i noticed my distributor don't have notched, maybe because it's a after market brand. I think mine was a PerTronix with vacuum advance.

    I thought the rotor should point to no 1 cylinder that would be facing 1 o clock

      ​@@VWBRUCEThanks for your reply. I see now that the SVDA type distributor rotor will point to the actual position of no one cylinder at 1 o clock But the 009 type will have no one position at 4 o clock pointing in the direction of number two cylinder.

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  4 месяца назад

      @@EIKLURAM the 009s I've serviced would have the no 1 at 4 o clock. No 4 is to the left of no 1 on the cap. Double check that the shortest plug cable will be no 4 cylinder. Double check the engine timing. If the distributor is rotated too far, then the rotor would be at 1 o clock to no 1 cylinder.

    Is that green wire going to the positive side on the coil?

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  3 года назад

      Yes, at the 11:40 mark I show where the Primary Lead Wire (green) goes. It goes to the Positive Connector which is to the right side of the High Tension Cable.

    What size socket do you use to move that to top dead center

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Natalie.
      Good question. The socket size for the generator pulley nut is either 17 or 21mm. VW used both on their production lines over the years. My experience is it's mostly been 21mm.
      Thanks for watching my videos & hope they've helped you.

    There must be a lot of original bosh svda Distributors around someplace the big rage years ago back was replacing with the 009 now everybody is realizing how much crap to 009 is and going back to the SV DA's

    • @VWBRUCE
      @VWBRUCE  2 года назад

      Motorcycleguy73, thanks for your comment. The 009 is the Porsche version of VW's 010 that was designed to run in the type 2 transporter. It has a faster curve to it so it doesn't work in all applications. Engine timing is critical with the 009 as well. Run the distributor that the engine originally had, I say.

      Hey, Marcus! I agree! But I will say this, I do not have a shop, nor do I have power tools. I use hand tools, a couple of jacks, jackstands, and a couple of wood blocks. One would call me a "Shadetree Mechanic." Yet, us kind, get it done, "Where There is a Will, There is a Way!"
