The Hot-Spark SVDA 034 Distributor with Electronic Ignition
The perfect replacement for most air-cooled VWs & Porsches
Brand new vacuum-advance SVDA 034 Distributor for Volkswagen Beetle, Ghia, Thing, Bus, Type I,
II, III, IV, Porsche.
Includes 3BOS4U1 electronic ignition conversion kit already installed,
ready to run in your air-cooled VW or Porsche – Just install distributor,
connect the red wire to the coil's positive (+ or 15) terminal and the black
wire to the coil's negative terminal (– or 1), connect vacuum hose to carburetor/throttle body and set the timing - Simple!
Zero-maintenance 3BOS4U1 electronic ignition means you won't have to fool
with points and timing again – always stays in perfect tune!
Distributor is a quality reproduction of the original vacuum-advance Bosch 0 231
170 034 / VW 043-905-205, federal model distributor that came stock from the
factory on the 1974
VW Beetle with 1600 engine and manual transmission. Perfect for use with the
34PICT carburetor. This distributor requires a vacuum source from the carburetor
or throttle body (when used with fuel injection). Uses standard Bosch
distributor cap, rotor, etc.
Some of the advantages of the SVDA 034 distributor over the 009
distributor:
Better acceleration - helps eliminate the 009's infamous "flat spot" on take-off
Cooler engine temps
More power, throughout the advance curve
Better fuel economy
No need to run a rich fuel/air mixture to compensate for the 009's poor acceleration, which results in unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust and reduced engine life
The Hot-Spark SVDA 034 distributor is ideal for use with most 12-volt, stock, air-cooled Volkswagens, except later models with factory electronic ignition and those with certain early Bosch fuel injection systems triggered by the distributor.
We assemble each distributor; everything is checked, adjusted, lubricated, etc. We then set and test the advance curve on a Sun distributor testing machine.
The Hot-Spark SVDA 034 distributor fits the following Volkswagen models (12 volt, negative ground only):
Type I - Beetle, Bug 1946-1979
Karmann Ghia, 1956-1974
Thing, Type 181, 1973-1975
Type II: 1950-1979 Bus, Transporter, Station Wagon, Kombi, Westfalia Camper (not '79 California bus)
Type III - 1962-1973
Type IV (412) 1974
Vanagon 1980-83˝, 2.0 liter, air-cooled (except California model)
Most 4-cylinder, air-cooled Porsche with points distributors (not for early 1970s D-Jetronic fuel injection)
Models with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection: 1975-79 Bus, 1980-83 Vanagon (not '79-83 California models)
Uses these standard Bosch replacement parts:
Timing the SVDA 034 Distributor
Use a stroboscopic timing light. Timing should be set initially at 30-32° BTDC at 3,500+ RPM, vacuum hose disconnected and plugged. Maximum advance, at 3,500+ RPM, vacuum hose connected, with no load on engine (car sitting still), light throttle, should not exceed 42-44° BTDC.
For proper operation of the distributor's vacuum advance, the vacuum source needs to be able to generate a minimum of about 8 inches (200 mm) of Hg. If your engine is running a high-lift, long duration cam, with cam overlap or an aftermarket carburetor setup without an available vacuum source, the vacuum-advance mechanism may not advance fully. However, the distributor's centrifugal-advance mechanism will provide the same advance curve as a properly set-up 009 centrifugal-advance distributor, simply by capping off the vacuum port.
Compatible Carburetors: The following carburetors should produce the proper amount of vacuum for use with the SVDA 034 distributor (if they are fitted with a vacuum port):
The Solex 30PICT-1 and 30PICT-2 carburetors may not produce enough vacuum to take full advantage of the SVDA 034 distributor's vacuum advance, but the Solex 30/31 is fine.
If your car has Kadron or ICT carbs, connect the vacuum hose to at least one carburetor. If your car has dual IDF or DRLA carbs, run a vacuum hose to both carburetors, T them together and then run the vacuum hose to the SVDA 034's vacuum port.
If your '71 VW Bus or '71-'74 VW Beetle/Ghia/Thing has the original dual-vacuum distributor and you replace it with the SVDA 034, you'll need to plug (cap off) the carburetor's retard vacuum port, which is the port located closest to you as you're looking at the carburetor from the rear of the car. Use the advance vacuum port, located on the left side of the 34PICT carburetor.
Works with Bosch L-Jetronic Fuel Injection: 1975-1979 VW Bus and 1980-1983˝ air-cooled VW Vanagon (not 1979-1983 California models)
This distributor requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
Coil: Stock Bosch 3+ Ohm coil or HS34HEC high-energy coil required.
To measure primary resistance: Label and remove all wires to coil ( + or - ). Using a common digital multimeter in the 200 Ω mode, cross the red and black leads of the Ohmmeter. Allow 10 seconds or more for the reading to settle and write down the reading. Still in the 200 Ohm mode, measure between coil’s + and - terminals. Allow a few seconds for the reading to settle, until it stabilizes. Subtract the previous reading, taken with the leads crossed, to compensate for multimeter’s inherent resistance. Do not use a low-resistance coil, such as the MSD or Accel coil; they don’t have enough primary resistance for this application.
Test the charging system's maximum voltage: If the charging system voltage, measured at the coil's positive terminal, is more than 14.2 volts at 2,500+ RPM, the voltage regulator likely needs replacing. Too much voltage can damage the ignition module and other electronic components.

High secondary resistance for more voltage at the plugs Ideal for Use with Hot-Spark 4-cyl Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits with red 3-series ignition module |
Heavy-duty, high-energy coil with extra turns of copper wire in the
secondary windings for as much as 45,000 volts to the spark plugs - more turns
of copper wire than other standard-sized canister coils.
Application:
Ideal for 4-cylinder distributors. Provides more primary resistance to protect from
overheating due to high-voltage or high-temperature environments.
Designed specifically to produce maximum spark
when used
with Hot-Spark red electronic ignition conversion kits
(red ignition module). Also excellent for points-based
distributors - high primary resistance helps reduce points burning, pitting.
Epoxy-filled
canister (not oil-filled) to withstand high-vibration
environments
Rugged, mirror-polished case -
won't chip or peel like chrome-plated coil canisters.
Standard 56mm (2.2 in.) coil
diameter - fits stock coil clamps.
