My 912E is running a 2L with dual weber 40 IDF's. Right now it's got some 009 with electronic ignition.

Would a currently available (i.e. not bosch) SVDA distributor be an upgrade? I'm looking for a reasonable mix of performance and fuel economy.

Thanks in advance! (pun intended)

I like mine. Good power and economy, but I think I need more advance at idle. Throttle response is a little sluggish. Once past tip in, it screams!

Do your webers have a vacuum port? You will need one.

I'd have to go through all of the mixture adjustments if I advance it, no?

thats correct. you will most likey have to slow down the idle and then rest the mixture screws. piece of cake..

nice to see another colorado guy on here

the 009 is not a very good distributor for these motors.
