Our SVDA 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). Can
use stock Bosch distributor cap, rotor, etc. Includes OEM distributor shaft
O-Ring.
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
Includes OEM distributor shaft D-Ring.
The Hot Spark SVDA 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 special contacts in the bottom of the distributor (Bosch D-Jetronic).
We thoroughly examine each distributor; everything is adjusted and lubricated before shipping.
The Hot-Spark SVDA 034 distributor fits the following Volkswagen models (requires 12 volt, negative ground electrical system):
Type I: Beetle, Bug, Vocho, 1946-1979
Karmann Ghia, 1956-1974
Thing, Type 181, Safari, 1973-1975
Type II: Bus, Transporter, Station Wagon, Kombi, Westfalia Camper, 1950-1971
Type III: Fastback, Squareback, Notchback, 1962-1973
Can use these standard Beru or Bosch replacement parts (same parts as Bosch 009 distributor):
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 adjusted 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):
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 1971 VW Bus or 1971-74 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.
This distributor requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
Coil: Bosch Black Coil with 3.4 Ω primary resistance included.
Test Maximum Charging System Voltage: Check the voltage reading
at the coil's + terminal, engine running. If the voltage measures more than
+13.9 volts, at any RPM level, you'll need to replace the voltage regulator or
wire a 1.4 Ohm external ballast resistor between the coil's + terminal and the
HotSpark ignition red wire. For best performance, the coil should also have 7K
Ohms or more secondary resistance (measured from coil’s + or – terminal to
center high tension terminal, in the 20K Ohm mode of the Ohmmeter).

Customer Testimonials:
Awesome Distributor
Hey guys,
Just want to thank you for your distributor for my bug. Wow, I thought it ran
great before!
Easy instructions, amazing!!!! Great job, guys.
I will be recommending this to all my friends.

I just wanted to let you know how
pleased I am with my purchase of the SVDA 034 distributor for air-cooled VW. I
have a '69 VW convertible bug with a stock 1600 dual port engine and it had the
009 centrifugal-advance distributor with a stock 34PICT carburetor. I have had
the usual "stumble" and crappy slow speed throttle response. I installed the new
SVDA 034 distributor with electronic ignition this morning. All went like
clockwork and had much to do with your excellent directions.
After setting up the timing I went out for a drive and was blown away by how
well the engine ran. No more stumble. The transition from slow speed to highway
"without" a full throttle attack was amazing! Thanks for such a great product!

Hello,
This is to express my thanks for the excellent service you recently provided me.
The Hot Spark distributor has behaved faultlessly during our 17,000 miles trip
through South and Central America.
Kind regards,
