1971-79 + 009 Ignition Points

Replacement ignition contact points for selected aircooled Volkswagen models and for engines using a 111 905 205L distributor or aftermarket 009 distributor. These points are a key part of the conventional ignition system, opening and closing as the distributor cam rotates to trigger the ignition coil and fire the spark plugs. Correctly fitted and adjusted points help give reliable starting, smooth running, and stable ignition timing.

As points wear, pit or burn, they can cause weak spark, misfiring, poor starting, flat spots and rough idle. Replacing them restores proper switching inside the distributor and helps keep the ignition system working correctly. These points should be set to a 0.4mm / 0.016″ gap during fitting, and the ignition timing should be checked afterwards.

These points fit distributor model 111 905 205L and also suit 009 distributors. As many classic VW and Porsche vehicles may have had distributor changes over the years, fitment should always be confirmed by the distributor number fitted, not just by vehicle model.
