Hello, I've been trying to work the bugs out of my 2.0L w/ dual 40mm webers, and to start off I want to check/adjust dwell and timing. I just discovered today that my car has the junky 009 dizzy....I also have the bosch blue coil and new plugs/wires.
Do I go about timing this dizzy the same way as a stock dizzy (minus the vacuum lines of course) AKA 27 degrees @ 3500rpm, or is this not possible because I have a 009? Also, is 27 degrees BTDC preferred even with carbs, or should I go to 34 or something? Next quesiton: I am sorely aware of the mediocrity of the 009, so what are my inexpensive options for a better centrifugal advance dizzy, and where can they be bought? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) thanks a bunch! |

Absolutely go with the Mallory. It is expensive. Aircooled.net will sell it already set up with the proper advance springs and total advance setting so you just pop it right in. Jake prolly does too at type4store. It made a WORLD of difference in the way my car (2.0 dual 40 webers) ran. Idle is no longer ala VW. Torque is strong all the way. Runs cooler than ever. The only fear is over-revving. I should look into a rev limiting rotor...
