Don't remember the numbers, but there was a question and answer on this in Excellence a while back.

I'll check it this weekend as I have it copied.

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.

Hey Brett,

The Bosch distributor you need would be for a 911T or 911E 1969-1973. Do not use a 911S distributor for the 914-6's '69T engine, the advance curve is wrong.

Hi Perry

Why do you say that? I know the "S" dizzy only goes to 30 degrees total advance, but do you happen to know the advance curves for both?

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?
