Euro Distributor Part Number

[john erbe]

Would like to ask one of you Aussie guys, where the 6.9 Euro was standard fare, if you could pass along the part number off your distributor. I've got a domestic here in California and my feeble mind tells me that if I swap to the Euro distributor, I'll get a little more performance with the advanced timing. After all, we want to show the 6.3 owners who's boss. I ask because the owners I've contacted locally have supplied part numbers for their alleged Euro dist's that don't jive with the MB numbers. My concern is that all these "grey market" Euros here in the states may have been obligated to change in order to meet emission standards.

Not standard fare, but came in on UK imports and European delivery program vehicles, which mine is, so you are in luck. The Bosch number is 0 237 404 007.

According to this list, it fits just about every model.
