Volkswagen Bosch Distributor Install | VW Bruce

Your Volkswagen Beetle not starting? Backfiring? Coughing? Only idles at high speed? It may be due to a Timing Issue resolved with a PROPER installation of the Distributor. VW Bruce addresses how to tell the front-side from the backside of a distributor without the bracket on, what is a Wave Washer, and drops a static Timing Tip at the 7:33 mark that does not need a Timing Light! Thanks for Watching! Oh, and please Like and join in on the Comments, too! Happy #Fahrvergnügen!!
