Help out a newbe here. I keep seeing references to an "009" and an "094" distributor.
What is the differences and what was used when? I have a '71 1.7, so which should be on it? Are they interchangable, or ??? tom... |

umm...I think the 094 is a 009 that has been chromed.
Honestly, they have a totally different number just because they're chrome! Both are pretty crappy. The chrome one is probably worse. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Bob O |

The 009 is something you don't want, just pretend it doesn't exist. It's a crappy distributor on any car.
If you're still running FI on your 1.7, then the only distributor you can run is the stock one. Well, OK, that's not strictly true, there are a few other D-Jet distributors for Type 3s and whatnot, but you're not going to find one that's better than the stock unit. If you're running carbs, use a Mallory, preferably a Unilite. |

It is worse. They are somewhat OK dizzy's on type 1 engines, not type 4 |

Hey
I don't understand... i've been running a 009 for 12 years without a problem. Maybe I am the lucky one. What goes wrong with these dizzys? what symptoms do they get ? maybe I should be looking into a Mall, is it pricey ? Maybe I'll jump over to the GPR site and look around. If someone can clearify the questions please Sorry for the highjack but I thought you asked a good question WBR Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/party.gif) |

The 009 was designed for an industrial engine that runs at a single rpm, not a sports car. The advance curve is all wrong. Just because it fits does not mean it should be used.

This thread is great, It's 7AM PT and you guys are discussing dizzy's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
Can I join in... Where is the 009 and 094 number located on dizzy's? I just went to the garage to check out the one I pulled from a '72 1.7L. The numbers characters on the side of the dizzy are : JFUDRX 4 <--- 0 231 174 001 039 905 205 F The last row of characters is the part #, 'wonder what the 'F' means?? What I have noticed is that pre '75's were equipped with a double action vacumm advance. Everything after '75 have single action vacuum. Reallly would like a good source of info 'bout dizzy's, I'm sure it's out there somewhere..

With the 039 tag, it is a 2 L desigination.
The first number series is the BOSCH OE (manufacturer). The second number series is the VW/Porsche Part Number. The "F" desiginates a specific application within the range of cars the part was used on...a revision of the original part. Most people refer to the dizzy by the last three digits. That is erronous as the numbers do change for an application (Bosch number). Within the range of dizzys you are concerned with, most of the changes will be the mechanical advance curve that is built in. The addition of a vacuum advance module is more for fuel economy and/or emissions control. The advance (rate and total) can be changed to fit your application, but it requires a distributor machine and the parts (springs) to do it. |

The 009 will work, meaning your car will start and drive down the street...but boy would it be an eye opener if you stuck a tight 050 in there or a Mallory.
Hard to describe the difference, but it 'opens' the engine up. My description is: faster response in all gears, slight increase in top end in all gears, smoother idle and better mileage. Your experience may vary depending on what your engine is set up like. But you'll ALWAYS see an improvement over a 009. Thats why people are paying $150 + for them these days. Bob O |

I had an 009 and an 050 in my car (back and forth) with permatune for 15 years. Recently bought the Mallory and I do really like it. Here is what I have concluded-
-most (all?) 009 dizzys are cheaply made in Brazil -some (most?) 050 dizzys are also cheaply made, except really old ones which were made in Germany. -Neither have a desirable advance curve for a type IV (either incorect advance rate in an 009 or incorrect maximum allowable advance in an 050). Thats why the Mallory is good -The firing accuracy is imprecise with the Bosch units. I dunno if it is manufactoring tolerences (probably) or just age & wear. -It is possible to revise the curves on Bosch dizzys if you know how and have the right tools. The answer is mostly a question of $. If you are like me, I try to fix the broken things before I improve the working things. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Great- Thanks for the info on the 'F' in the part number. You jogged my memory now I remember what that extra letter is for .... I found a 311 905 205L dizzy spark advance diagram in a fuel injection manual I have. I'll post it tomorrow when I get to work, if anybody is interested. I have to scan it and my scanner is at work! Got to go to Home Depot with the wife, spend some $ for house refurb..... There goes my Sunday! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) |

Even with carbs the stock oem FI dizzys are better than the 009 centrifical dizzys. They have a small 17 degree max advance where the stockers have upto 32 degrees of advance. Makes for more smoother power!
Joe, toss it in the ocean and install another unit and see the difference. Geoff |

I will be stocking a mallory unilite shortly (2-4 weeks) when my e-store goes on-line. Out of province will have no PST.
Get the std unilite (no vac) and Grey/Grey springs. If you need one right now try. http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/store/h...ome.php?cat=306 aircooled.net |
