i just got my carbs dialed in perfectly. and im thinking about getting a new ignition system. i want to get rid of the 009, and replace it with a vacuum advance unilite with the promaster coil.((im going after MPG) but after researching the unilite, it seems the newer models are prone to problems compared to the older units. is this still the case? any mallory users out there? particularly the newer models?

I have got one with mechanical advance. Still have not gotten it set quite right. I did a lot of research online and with location VW shops, all of them said go mallory. It was half and half on the advance style. I like it so much better then my 009 bosch. I had a cylinder died on me so my engine is in rebuild stage currently. Not related to ignition problems. You have to get the ballest resistor for them and the advance spring kit to reset the advance to a type4. They are preset to like 24 degrees or something advance. Type 4s like 16 degrees advance it i remember correctly.
