DISTRIBUTOR IN 365 BB

bentley boy1 · 07-07-2005, 01:18 AM

In 365 BB the distributor is sometimes vertically or horizontally mounted.
What is the reason of this modifcation ? can we say there is a first and a second serie in BB365.

No, there was only one series of 387 cars produced. As far as I know, the Distributor was always mounted vertically.

Hi Boxer

I think you mean that all 365 Boxers had their distributors mounted horizontally, not vertically.

I have pictures of some development vehicles that had verticle distributors (and some very complex throttle linkages) but none of these were production cars.
