which is better? I know the Mallory is better than both of them, but I have 3(now 009s) and a good line on a 050... so which one on my 2056 with dual 40idfs?

The 009 will WORK, but you have to have the static timing retarded quite a bit to prevent too much advance (pinging) at light throttle, and you end up with not enough at larger throttle openings (no power). Gas mileage sucks, too. At best, it's a stop-gap until you can get something better. On a 2056, you'd be throwing away a lot of the extra power you paid for. I have an 009 on a carb'd 1.7 waiting for the Mallory backlog to clear.

If you have an EFI dizzy lying around, you can use that with the vacuum ports plugged, or add the vac ports to your IDFs (later ones had them drilled, early one's you'll have to modify).

With the sucky mileage and $2.50 gas, the Mallory would pay for itself pretty quick...
