123/VW-R without vacuum advance

The 123/VW-R distributor can be used in all type '1', '2' and '3' VW cars WITHOUT vacuum advance

The 123/VW-R-V is developed in co-operation with VW Experts. In addition to the Beetle, Karmann Ghia and Buggy without vacuum advance, it can also be installed in the Porsche 356 and 912 models.

Please note the following about the 123/VW-R 123ignition

When you need a 123ignition with vacuum advance, please order a 123/VW-R-V.

Please read the installation manual carefully. It contains the specifications of the 123-ignition system, as well as a step-by-step description of the installation procedure. The installation instructions also contain a cross-reference between the original Bosch number and the setting of the 123VW-R, as well as a list which links VW engine numbers to the required setting of the 123ignition.

Coil and spark plugs

Although used coils all look alike, they should be viewed with suspicion since one cannot tell from the outside whether, and how often they were exposed to overheating in the past. Installing the 123ignition system will ensure that the coil will never be overheated again in future. We recommend the 123 Blue Coil.

Perhaps you'll also need new spark plugs? At 123ignitionshop we recently added the spark plugs most commonly used in combination with the 123ignitions we offer. See: the spark plugs list.
