gains you nada...over a hot coil.....and a pointless replacement module

Advance curve? STILL an 009 Dizzy Base
wasted spark system...

2 coils over 1.....

and, where do your FI trigger points go now,,,,,

Got it on my 2007cc Type 3

Flippin' rocks Immediatly noticeable torque increase. I'm running a 0.040" plug gap, no misfires, and I love it. Better than a hot coil and electronic points (what I was previously running). Get it.

FYI
this would be legal in some stock classes because it is triggered by distributer. Crank fired conversion would not be legal in stock.

Now what does everyone think?

so what's the word on this? I was doing some searches trying to find the right distributor to use... but if one can go distributorless for less than a mallory, wouldn't that be the right call?

They work great, and that's going on nearly ten years on my car already. The distributor's function is changed so it doesn't distribute any more, it's just a trigger. So you get modern ignition EXCEPT you still use the distributor's advance curve. Bummer. But in the original 009 (or 010 or 050, etc) (not the Brasilian or Chinese copies) you can change springs and modifiy the curves if you need to. It's definitely a step up from conventional carbureted ignition, but still a step below the Megajolt, Megajolt Light Junior, etc crankfire ignitions. And of course you get that sexy blue anodized distributor cap...

The shop up the street offered to show me how to remove the guts of the 009 and transfer into a D-Jet 039 dizzy. I never did it, but if they say it can be done I would trust them that it could.

Changing the advance rate & curve involves having a supply of advance spring pairs for sure, a distributor machine to verify the springs are giving the correct advance rate. Additionally, the advance plate in a dizzy is limited in movement by slot and pin with bushing in some. Sometimes the slot must be elongated to achieve the desired total advance. Not sure the Bosch dizzy has this limiter.
