Hello,

I've become a little bit of an expert on this subject. Since i have converted my faulty distrubutor on my DeLorean with a slighty enchased porshe model. I was lucky enough to have a porshe racing team assist me with proting mine over. I aslo had to change some (alot) of small things around. New preassure regulator, vacumm hose routing for it, and numerous adjustments to get it running perfectly. If your just an individual with some knowledge i wouldn't even try it. You may get it going but not correctly. And could waste upwards of $2000 in the process onn wrong parts. In the end you get the same results as with the DMC one, looks the same and everything.

All you have to do is match up the numbers. All of the variations 
each have different numbering. Some of the parts can be interchanged 
but some of the springs and metering elements are varied for different 
flow rates of air and fuel. This is just another case of "If it fits 
it must be OK". NOT!!!! If you get your parts from a Delorean vender 
even though you may pay a little more you only buy 1 and it is the 
correct one! It is rare that you would need a metering unit anyway 
unless of course you don't have the right one.
