Hi
I am having trouble finding the Ignitor for my car - 1976 BMW 3.0S carburettor
I wrongly purchased a 1868 after reading website La Jolla Independent that the 80mm distributor requires the 1868
Now that I checked my distributor for the part number it appears I have a BOSCH distributor PFUD6 0-231-309-005
I looked up kits on Pertronix and the closest BOSCH part match is 0-231-309-001 (a BOSCH distributor part number for a Mercesdes)
It says for 0-231-309-001 the Ignitor is 1862 but the pictures I see of this version shows a round baseplate - full circle
I don’t see how this will fit my distributor 0-231-309-005 or 0-231-309-001 because they are both identical in the points area and it will foul the advance lever
I have attached photos of what I have with points and condenser removed and the 0-231-309-001 to show how very similar they are
As you can see the 1862 will not fit my distributor if the baseplate is indeed a full circle
Can someone please tell me which Ignitor I need to buy and if they have the same type of distributor as me?
thanks Michael
