[T3] Dist trigger points?

[William Jahn]

Yes both my spares have the numbers on the side of the connector. I looked
at the one I suspect is not a Bosch product. The cam followers are a hard
black plastic,  Even though it has the numbers on the plug , every detail
as far as the shape of the plug, the pivot post staking and the 3 braided
leads at their solder joints are completely different , even the way the
braided leads are routed is difference. I can even see where the flat
springs are staked in plastic at the plug is cracking .

 I doubt that set is Bosch , I would not use or trust  them because the
cracking at the spring plastic is on both all the way to the rivet, if one
lets go engine stops. They may be fine as an in case set.
