Ben replied that the ID48X was rebuilt and basically the same..
I see that Bimmer Parts has a "Perf. distributor" for $130. That's
fairly reasonable given the damned stock ones cost near that too.
FWIW:
Early 320i's were getting good results from using the tii
distributor (or, for that matter, a good early '68 2002 '048). The
article I recall was in the early '80's or late '70's Roundel and
was written by a 2002 owner who added "I wish I hadn't done the swap
[on the subject car] because he could now outrun me at Lime Rock." :O
Korman says he gets like 135 horses from the '77-'79 320i with
a tii distributor and Stahl header. (Stage I?) I can imagine what a
nice 10:1 motor would do...

p.s. Hey Ian, those pistons and the cylinder head cleaned up enough to
be reused... I think I'll bore out a block for the pistons and go for it.
