Distributor Advance Springs

louis.howe · Jan 17th, 2012, 08:06

I own a pair of Volvo B20A's (AQ130, twin carb) in my boat, which are the same as the car engine just marinised to suit a boat.

The problem I have is the advance springs in the distributor have corrected away, and one has broken. Does anyone know where I can obtain replacements? My distributor is Bosch, and it seem they are like hens teeth to find!

Thanks,
Louis

You can't buy individual springs for them any more.....

You could send your distributor away to be reconditioned at surprisingly low cost by H&H who can put the right springs in

Out of interest, what are the last 3 numbers of the distributor number on the side of the body. I might be able to help you with some good second hand ones.

H&H have been very helpful and are dealing with them for me

Last three numbers are 012
