Bosch ZV/JCU 4R3 oddity

[Tram]

I plan to run a 123 Ignition in my 63 as I do in all my other cars. At the show, bayboy will come up and whitemansplain why I cannot do this. While he is gathering up his friends to show them what an asshole I am, I will install the stock original I have with the car. Then I will tell his buddies to get him a cognitive test. And take away the crack pipes.

See, this so- called notchboy was notchless for a long time so that he could fellate Bay Buses. Now that he is back in the Type 3 brotherhood he expects all to be forgiven. Once a Quisling, always a Quisling, I always say.

How do you like THOSE apples?

The proper can is available?
(By available I mean not just robbing it from some other ZV/JCU)

Thanks Glenn

As a FYI tasb notes:

“ Although the vacuum canisters have a different design their advance characteristics are identical. The mechanical weights are unique to the ZV/JCU 4 R 3 (150)”

So I’m going to go with: it’s wrong and it works

Now I am asking a question 60 years on (actually longer) Both of the cans could be adjusted. How and why would you adjust the cans after it was produced. And what would you use to verify vacuum and correct maximum movement.
Idle minds want to know

In all seriousness, though, I am more on notchboy's side on this. 20 plus years ago if the VW dealer couldn't get it, and your local Beck- Arnley parts dealer couldn't get it, you then looked in the trade magazines for vendors and made a bunch of long- distance calls. If they didn't have it either, you improvised. If they DID have it, you paid a lot of money snail mail and waited 6-12 weeks for delivery.

Today with the modern WWW, you can find it. If you have to buy it from overseas it's an easy transaction and you'll often have it in a week. You don't need to speak their language and go to the bank and wait in line to change $$$ into DM, and you don't need to spend half the value of the car on international calls on your land line in the middle of the night due to the time difference.

That said, there will always be parts that are outliers. Mario at T3HQ says "the time to buy parts is when they are available" and that's SO true. notchboy "gets" this. If you want the glory, do the work. With the Internet and the ease of electronic currency conversion, you can.

In this day and age, the only reasons to run a 36 hp can on your sparkler is as a temporary measure till you get the correct one, you're misinformed, you're unwilling to take the time to find one, or you're cheap.

On the flip side, I was serious about the 123 Ignition. It's a total digital replacement for all the parts in your ignition distributor that could fail, and they also have a model suitable for D-Jet. It'll eliminate the failure prone CDI boxes on your Porsches and M-Bs also. To me, it just makes sense to add this reliability. Keep your restored original with the proper vacuum can with the car, of course.
