Hello
The original marelli Distributor is NLA and also distributor caps are rare.
The repleacment Bosch distributor is the 2,4/2,7 unit. Your local porsche dealer can find it out by looking in his PET cataloge.

Mike,
Its in the back of the 911 performance hand book. I think its 33 instead of 30. I also tried 2.4 and 2.7 dizzys and had trouble because the distributor shaft was to big. Currently waiting for correct dizzy. Marelli unit w/ 2caps and rotors FS

Well, not exactly. The book lists the max advance, but not the curve. I currently have a 69/70/71 "S" dizzy (0 231 159 007) in my /6. It is listed as 30 degrees max advance. The 70/71 "T" dizzy I have (0 231 159 008) is listed as 35 degrees max advance. I've run the car with both, and don't notice much difference in performance of the car. I was curious to know the actual advance curve for each. I also notice that the 69/70/71 "E" dizzy is a different part number (0 231 159 006) than the "T". And the later 72 on MFI cars are different yet.
Obviously both of these will work in a 2.0 6 as fitted to the 914/6. But why would the "S" dizzy not be recommended?
