73 Tii Bosch "008" Distributor Advice Needed

[PaulTWinterton]

I have a 73 tii that runs rough at +/- 2500rpm. All setting/components are correct, and the only wildcard is an incorrect (ancient) distributor that has also been recurved.

I've been told that the correct distributor is a Bosch distributor # 0 231 151 008 (JFD4).

I know that similar Bosch "002" distributors are available, but I can't find an "008".

Anyone have experience with alternatives or sources for the "008" model?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Dizzy #0 231 151 008 was replaced with 0 231 188 002 as a spare part by the factory in 1979.

You can also use a 0 231 151 009, 0 231 168 025 or 0 231 180 013. All were fitted to Tii's in the USA.

I hope that gives you some more options. Beaner7102

Get the distributor checked out again. I used Jeff@Advanced to recurve both an original 008 and the replacement 002.

If its been more than 5 years, the advance springs are probably a little soft.

Though likely at 2500 rpm the distributor is not the issue...

I have a good 008 for sale in the parts section under "Bulk Parts".

Sorry for the Hi-Jack, but related.

I have a rebuilt Bosch dizzy # 0.231.115.081

I was told it was for a 2002 and a Bosch Catalog lists it for BMW 4 cyl. 1964-74.

Is this a compatible dizzy for the 2002?

BTW, it turns clockwise according to the arrow on the body.

TIA!

Cheers!
