...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. |

Even without the vacuum advance and retard connected the stock 1.8 distributor will provide the proper amount of advance. On stockers the vacuum advance was disconnected because it gave way too much advance.
the 009 only provides a total of 22ยบ (not enough) and gets there way fast. You have to have a 009 modified (different weights and springs) to properly work with a Type 4 and your application. |
