Distributor Cap - 1968-84 - Vacuum Advance, 009 Distributors - Terracotta

This reproduction distributor cap is a direct replacement for most VAG (Volkswagen and Audi Group) distributors from 1968 to 1986, specifically for engines retrofitted with vacuum advance or Bosch 009 style distributors. With a 65mm diameter, it is suitable for many 1300cc–1600cc aircooled engines and select watercooled models. This cap ensures reliable spark distribution by connecting the ignition coil to the spark plugs via the rotor arm inside the distributor.

A common choice for restored classics or tuned engines, this cap is made to OEM spec with durable terminals for consistent electrical contact. It features correct fitment for a wide range of models, including:

• VW Type 1 (Beetle, Buggy, Baja) – 1.2–1.6L (1968–1986)

• VW Transporter T2 & T3 – 1.6–2.0L (1968–1985)

• VW Type 3 – 1.5–1.6L (1968–1973)

• VW Type 4 – 1.7–1.8L (1969–1975)

• VW Golf/Jetta Mk1 – Various engines from 1.0L to 1.8L (1974–1984)

• VW Karmann Ghia – 1.6L (1973–1974)

• Porsche 914/4 – 1.7–2.0L (1969–1976)

• Porsche 924 Turbo – 2.0L (1980–1986)

• Mercedes W115 & W123 – 2.0–2.3L (1968–1981)

• VW Iltis, Scirocco, and more

If your vehicle uses a Bosch 009 or similar vacuum advance distributor with a 65mm diameter cap, this will likely be the right fit.

Note: Always compare to your original part before ordering. Not compatible with modern hall sensor or electronic ignition systems without distributor caps.
