009 was "the original VW performance distributor" and I believe had a built-in retard for the #3 cylinder in the pre "dog-house" cooler days. The 050 came later and was also centrifugal but had no #3 retarding and the larger advance- at least tto my understanding.

Actually, the "009" that we're discussing was originally designed for, and installed on, industrial engines which generally run at a single steady RPM. Their short advance curve allows them to be easily started and they reach full operating RPM and advance early. Performance in between idle and operating speed is of no consequence, nor are emissions levels. The dreaded "flat spot" is meaningless on an industrial engine. The Cap'n
