tii Bosch Distributor parts - NLA??

[classicman]

Hi

I suspect that I am not getting full advance on my distributor as my car won't rev past +/- 4,500rpm. At that point it fluffs and dies. I phoned Bosch South Africa today and they tell me that parts for my distributor are NLA.

The numbers on my dizzy are 0231 151 009 and JFD4. Any ideas on where I can get rebuild parts?

If i turn the rotor by hand, it moves, so it is not jammed. How do I check if the maximum advance is working 100% before I start chasing my tail? I'm running Pertronix on a newly built motor, new plugs and leads and the injection system is set up correctly with CO's to spec.

Would the distributor's advance really keep the engine from revving higher?? Maybe it's starving for gas, could be a carb problem. In any case, there are limited parts available for the distributor, such a s repair kit. See my blog at 1966BMW1800.wordpress.com for my refurb.

I have no idea, I'm clutching at straws here. What else would cause this?
