I didnt post this in the correct section, so this is a repost-

Howdy all,

I recently came into a box of 1800 parts, and am trying to sort out what I have (mostly what I should have). I have a 65 P1800, with a 69 B20E currently running a Bosch dizzy model JFURX4 and # 0231163010. from my internet searches it is a "anticlockwise rotation with fuel injection trigger points".

This set me back a little wondering who put this in with the intake setup it currently has (dual HS6s)?

The reason I started this endeavor in the first place- I got a rebuilt set of HS6s, that do not have the vacuum port, so i wanted to get a dizzy that didnt have vacuum either. The guy I got the carbs from had an old non vacuum dizzy, Bosch number JFR4, 0231153003.

So, will the 003 dizzy be suitable for my engine and carbs?

Any help would be appreciated, as well as a point in the direction of a through JFR4 dizzy rebuild website.

Thanks all, as per usual the BB is an invaluable resource!

    Here's a link to a private Bosch distributor website primarily for VWs,but the rebuild pix should be sueful for Volvo as well.

      That's a pretty good guide.

      I find it interesting that VW opted not to have the shaft oiler fitted, just a blank boss where it lives on a Volvo.

    Certainly good to get hold of a stash of parts but if you say your car has a B20E fitted it could well be just a transplant to which the original carbs were fitted. Many people have swapped in the carbs to replace the FI anyway.
    If it all seems to work fine, what are you trying to cure or improve?

    More than anything else the cam & compression determine what the distributor curve should be like, if your B20E still has a K or D cam in it, the B20E distrubutor will be better than a B20B or B18B distrubutor curve. Set it to 10°@idle, check if you have about 34°@3500rpm & you are good to go.

    If you have vacuum advance it should hook to the manifold, not the carbs.
    If it has vacuum retard, don't hook it up.
    Use the best distributor you have.
