Distributor Condensor - Vacuum Dizzys - Square Hole In Side (Originally 1973-79 Beetles)

This reproduction condenser is designed for use with VW distributors that have a square hole in the side—typically found on Beetles and other aircooled models from 1973 to 1979 equipped with 1200cc to 1600cc engines. The condenser mounts inside the distributor and is essential for suppressing electrical noise and protecting the points from premature wear, ensuring consistent spark and reliable engine performance.

Although originally fitted to late-model Beetles and Baywindow Buses, these distributors have often been swapped between engines over the years. As a result, this condenser may be the correct fit for your vehicle even if it`s not the original application. If your distributor has a square hole where the wire exits, this is likely the correct part.
