Today I completed the fitting of a VW 113-905-205AJ Distributor to Anastasia. The vacuum advance was removed leaving the centrifugal advance giving the required advance control. What a difference. The acceleration is now smooth all the way up the rev range. Only done about 5 miles so far but well pleased with what I have managed using only hand tools and my pillar drill. I set the ignition timing to TDC static , the distributor giving about 14/16 (crank) degrees total. It will be interesting to see how the performance is on a run. I may adapt the base plate vacuum advance to manual control if I need more advance later if required.
