(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I posted earlier in the week about my 009 distributor woes. I took it apart and it was filled with crud. I did not completely break it down but I did clean it the best I could.I found that the weights were stuck and did not move freely.They still bind a little and I am not sure if that is acceptable. Also I see that there is only 1 spring inside. Is that the way it is supposed to be. What should I look for to make it work properly. I already know that these are not the best but if I can optimize it I will for now.

There are two springs in an 009. They break. My car came with an 009 and barely ran to get it home because of only having one spring in the 009. Take it apart, use fine sandpaper and grease to free it up. Which grease is the question. I think you are only supposed to use Bosch grease. Hopefully somebody will chime in with something else safe to use. I go to the Porsche shop and the guy puts a little Bosch grease on some saran wrap for me.
