any good tips for setting timing vs 304. the car has no air intake past throttle body. any good after market

The standard ones are actually the best imo.

I wish I still had a bosch one.

My aftermarket one has no notch in the housing for number 1, you need to scribe it in yourself.

And the clips that hold the cap on fall into the depths of the engine bay when you undo them.

I was referring to the intake question with this answer, but for dizzy 100% bosch ftw. The fuelmiser ones don't last. replaced one within 12months on a fresh build.

If it’s the early VS one (same all the way back to VN), grab a new one from rare spares.

If it’s a S3 box, then try a V6 one, as the short 5L ones are NLA and hard to source secondhand. The V6 one is missing the indent but fits okay.

In rares today and they stock the short intake hose as well now!
