KE11

I thought i'd mention that i discovered the distributor is in fact a KE30 distributor. I phoned Bosch and quoted the "9 230 062 411" number and KE30 is what it came up as.... I therefore bought a GB708 cap, GB73 rotor and GB543 points and they fit fine despite the rotor looking quite different and the cap being black instead of red. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and assistance.

Thanks Robert, I think I will do that. However, as parrot pointed out, there is more than one type of Bosch distributor it could be. In this case I think you're right though, because it looks like a KE55 dizzy which I'm told is the same as KE70.

I found some identifying numbers on the distributor.... 9 230 062 411 U-PFU4 T 507 19.003 From my research I'm thinking it's probably a KE55 or KE70 distributor. For some reason i can't find any info on the net, despite having part numbers and everything. The closest i got was this document ... http://dualfuel.net.... ADOCATALOG.pdf I also took a good photo of the cap and rotor.

I had a quick look when i took the photo. If there is a number, it wasn't immediately obvious. I will have another closer look tomorrow. Also note that the rotor fitted to the dizzy in the photo is the incorrect part (the Nippon Denso one)... so try to ignore that. I put it on before i realised i had the wrong parts.

Does anyone know why things like distributor caps and rotors don't have part numbers stamped on them? It would take away all guesswork and make a lot of sense. After my trip to Bursons i'm still not sure which part i need. They will need to order them in specially so i can't hold them next to each other for comparison.

Thanks guys. This is a 3K in a 1970 KE11 if it makes any difference. Looks like i'll need to go collect the bits from my mate and take a trip to Bursons.

Thanks Mick... Any idea of part numbers or resources for finding them out? I furiously Googled at lunchtime today with no luck. It's actually my friend who is ordering these bits for me through his work. I won't have the dizzy cap in my possession again until the weekend. :/

Hi guys, I recently bought a KE11 and I decided to treat it to new plugs, leads, distributor cap, rotor and points. The problem i encountered was the distributor cap is completely wrong. It said on the packet that it suits "Corolla 1967-1975 - all models" but as you can see from my photo, the one from my car is much larger than the one i bought. What have I done wrong? If the cap is wrong, then I assume the rotor and points will also be wrong... is that right? The part number for the cap that I bought is Bosch GD516 Thanks in advance, Simon.
