What did Russ tell you? I don't  remember what you posted.
 
He told me, this list and the Samba that all type 3 distributors had  a 4 
degree retard on #3 cylinder. This was because VW felt that the restricted  
air flow over the 3-4 side of the engine from the oil cooler would cause #3  
cylinder to run hot. By retarding that cylinder 4* , VW felt there would be  
enough "safety factor" built in to keep it from over heating. As we all 
know,  the VW engineers were overly cautious in their designs, and usually 
err'd on the  side of over kill. ;-)
