[T3] distributor

[Keith Park]

Bob makes a good point, the AT has to idle under load, it makes quite a
quandry for those that want carbs, often folks just jack up the idle speed
to make do and thats hard on the tranny.  The Carbbed auto also had a
different modulator, all part that are unobtainium here in the US put
perhaps some of the Euro advertisers on the Samba may be able to supply the
correct parts... many hang out here and will post what your looking for
within a day or 2 if they have it.

Well,  the 009 is about the worst choice so anything other than that is  an
improvement. You really want the distributor that matches those carbs,  if
they are stock then probably the 66-7 distributor would be the best  choice,
if aftermarket you can only guess, probably a 69FI distributor and  just not
use the vacuum can as there is nowhere to properly hook it on  the
aftermarket carbs.

They are stock Solexes. off a  '67 SB.  Thanx, everyone---I will pass this
on to  Jason.

Keep in mind that a 66 or 67 stock distributor will be a vac advance  only, 
and might not plat nice with the AT.
It might be worth doing some investigation work on what the European  cars 
(that had carbs and AT) used. I only mention it, as other countries got  
both carbs and the AT combo. The USA only got FI and AT together. Just a  
thought.
