Will this distributor cap fit my 1975 Type 2 Bus, and what ignition wires do I need?

Yes, this distributor cap (part #03-010) is designed to fit your 1975 Type 2 Bus. However, it's important to note that it does not have pin-type spark plug connectors. For proper compatibility and performance, we highly recommend using it with our GoWesty steering wheel lock part #27462 ignition wire set specifically designed for this cap.

I have a late-model Vanagon (around '85) with the 1.9 water-cooled engine. Will this distributor cap work for me?

Absolutely! This distributor cap (part #03-010) is compatible with 1.9 liter water-cooled Vanagons from 1983 to 1985 and all air-cooled Vanagons from 1980 to 1983. Just be sure to pair it with the recommended GoWesty wire set #27462 for optimal results.

My current Vanagon distributor cap has boot-style connectors. Will this GoWesty cap replace it directly?

This particular distributor cap (part #03-010) does not use pin-type spark plug connectors, meaning it's not a direct replacement for all types of caps, especially those with boot-style connectors. It's engineered to work specifically with spark plug wire set #27462. If your existing wires aren't compatible with this setup, you'll need to replace them with the recommended set.

What years of Vanagon and Type 2 Bus does this distributor cap definitively NOT fit?

This GoWesty distributor cap, part #03-010, is designed for 1968-1985 Type 2 Buses, air-cooled Vanagons (1980-1983), and 1.9 liter water-cooled Vanagons (1983-1985). It will not fit earlier models before 1968 or later Vanagon models with different engine configurations. Always confirm your vehicle's year and engine type before purchasing.

It didn't fit. My 1.9 has a metal shield that fits over the distributer cap. This cap has a slightly larger diameter than the OEM Bosch cap, and the shield wouldn't fit over it. I tried to force it, and I cracked the cap. Not happy.
