I am working on rebuilding the carbs and tuning the engine in my '74. What I know (or was told) about it:
From what I've gathered reading other carb and ignition tuning threads on this forum, the 009 is not considered a good distributor for this engine. I have a big box of stock 914 distributors to choose from - which one would be a good choice? |

What are the part numbers on the distributors you're thinking about using from that box?
Maybe post some photos of their condition too. Wobble the shafts back and forth to check for play/wear. No sense using one that's worn out. |
