1600ti distributor type

[02grandprix]

Hi 1600ti owners, looking for info on distributor type used in the 1600ti, what number do you have?

[Jeff]

My early BMW blue book list the 1600ti distributor as a Bosch JFR 4. That is the same number as the 2002ti in the later Bmw service  Blue book. 
 

The 1600ti lists 15 degrees of centrifugal advance plus or minus 1 degree. 1200 rpm Measured at the distributor shaft. That would be 2400 rpm maximum advance on the flywheel.

Hi Jeff, there are at least two JFR4 that I have found, # ending with 026 and 033, my own literature shows them for the 2002ti

It’s certainly confusing, I’m pretty sure it would be a Steel body distributor with centrifugal advance only. The later BMW Blue Service books in the 2 volume set list in the foot notes many of the superseded distributor part numbers. I found this JFR 4 0 231 129 026 in my collection and it’s a steel body.

Bosch distributor 0 231 151 008 superseded 0 231 129 026 or 033 

 

this is Foot Note 4 page 12-0/6 of the 2 volume set BMW blue service book.

These three distributer curves are so similar I can’t imagine any noticeable change in driving or performance difference. I added the 2002tii with the 0 231 151 009 distributor

Thank you Jeff, for the valuable info. I have fitted in my 1600ti the 026 type, guess this is correct.
