Run a new distributor on your classic Porsche!  This distributor has the design character of the original, but with modern electronics. The 123 distributors have been around for over a decade, but they were challenging to set up properly for the 911SC. We offer this pre-programmed unit to make the job a little easier.

Comes pre-loaded with our exclusive starting curve for 911 SC low compression engines (9.5 to 1 or less) that have been converted from CIS to carbs. This starting curve was developed and tested by a Porsche-trained mechanic, engine builder, and ignition specialist with 34 years of experience. 

WARNING: The pre-installed program is a safe starting point, but it is the installer's responsibility to adjust the program to the requirements of the carbureted engine. This is not a task for everyone; a qualified, insured mechanic should be employed to accomplish this. Incorrect setup, installation, or timing can result in severe damage to the engine and distributor. Never attempt to use this distributor on a 930 / turbo engine! 

An Apple or Android App allows for wireless adjustment of the ignition curve and provides an electronic dashboard. Range is 500-8K RPM. Vac can be programmed up to -20 / +20 degrees. Max crankshaft advance 40 degrees. Other key features include rev-counter, anti-theft PIN code, real time tuning, vacuum advance, and soft rev limiter.

This distributor does not use the Bosch “green wire.”  Instead, we include a male plug that will connect the distributor’s trigger wires (green signal wire and brown signal ground) to the harness after the installer trims the wires. We also include a piece of shielding for the distributor’s green trigger wire. You may use this distributor with our “6 Pin CDI Wiring Harness, for 123.”

As with all electrical products, this item is non-returnable except for manufacturer pre-approved warranty returns. Arrangements for repairs or warranty service must be made directly with the manufacturer.

Aftermarket
Our founders have worked on Porsche cars for decades. They've tried most of our aftermarket products first hand on real cars. Some parts are no longer made by an O.E.M company, or the price difference between genuine and aftermarket has become so large that it makes sense to take the savings. If you have any questions about an aftermarket product, please contact us.
