009 vs. stock 1.8L dizzy for dual carb setup, I know it's been talked to death but... Options

[pete914]

...let's talk some more.
I'm converting to dual webers from a single holley weber setup. Running a stock 1.8L dizzy with vacuum advance hooked-up. What are your suggestions/opinions for switching to a centrifugal advance 009. I know some people hate them, but the advance curve is steep and good for carbs so I'm told. Further, I just picked up a shiny new 009 off this site as it was recommended to me by people at AA for carb setups.
Before we say anything about the mallory unit, of course I would love one of those, but I would also love to install a 6-cylinder...
Would I be better off keeping the 1.8 stock dizzy and not hooking up the vacuum advance?
Right now my single carb setup is dealing with getting bogged down in the low rpm range (timed to 27 degrees BTDC)...seems like the advance curve isn't steep enough.
So, 1.8 stock dizzy vs. 009; opinions appreciated.

FWIW

I was advised by a long time and well known 914 mech (here in DFW) that the stock 1.8L dizzy w/ vac advance connected was the best adv curve match (of stock dizzy's) for dual carbs. Part Number: 022 905 205 AA or AB.

I eventually found such a dizzy and matched it with a Crane Allen Fireball ignition system and .....wow. All of my carb tuning issues virtually dissappeared. I have been running this for about 2 years without issue.

I am a huge believer in the Crane Allen Fireball system. Super reliable.



good luck
