009 Point, Heavy Duty

Kuhltek Motorwerks 009 Heavy Duty Points

VW Fitment & Compatibility

The Kuhltek Motorwerks 01030 heavy-duty points are designed specifically for the popular Bosch-style 009 centrifugal advance distributor. This distributor is a staple in the aircooled VW community and is commonly found on Volkswagen Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Type 2 Buses, and Dune Buggies. If you are running a performance-oriented 009 distributor rather than a stock vacuum-advance unit, these points are the correct replacement for maintaining a reliable ignition spark.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Precision Gap Setting: When installing new points, always use a feeler gauge to set the gap to exactly .016"" (0.4mm). Make sure the distributor''s rubbing block is sitting on the highest point of the cam lobe before tightening the adjustment screw. An incorrect gap will lead to poor engine performance and difficult starting.

Lubricate the Rubbing Block: To prevent premature wear, apply a very small, matchhead-sized dab of high-temperature distributor cam grease to the distributor cam lobes. This reduces friction on the point''s plastic rubbing block, ensuring your gap stays consistent for a longer period.

Verify Ignition Timing: Changing your point gap directly alters your ignition timing. After installing and gapping your new points, always use a timing light to verify your total advance. Even a slight variation in the point gap can advance or retard the timing enough to cause overheating or loss of power.
