D-Jet Trigger Points
 
Hi all,

I'm working on a '76 914. It's encumbered by being controlled by the malady that is D-Jetronic. Like every other important component in the system, the fuel injection trigger points seem to impossible to source. I've searched around, and found an article suggesting Volvo sources. That article was from 2011, and I have a D-Jet Volvo, and was unable to find points or any other parts for it two years ago. That Volvo now wears a set of SU carbs as a result. The customer seems insistent on keeping his car as original as possible. In concept I have no problems with that request, but in practice, parts are hard to find, and expensive when found. Do any of you fine folk have a source for these? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Matt

check on 914world. There is some solution that replaces the trigger points with an updated module. I can't remember the name of it but there is a current discussion about it.

Thanks, I've checked there as well. They have a couple of solutions, the best of which so far is to buy a used set for $24. Since the signal is such a low voltage, these things seem to last forever.. This is the first set Ive found that's needed replacement, and it's due to rust issues. The car sat in a wet environment for so long that the points basically rusted shut.
