I'm having trouble locating a rebuild kit for my stock 1.8 distributor. I don't have the money to upgrade to an optical setup, and I have a .009 on the shelf that's rebuilt (don't know what springs to use though). I was thinking it might be a better idea to rebuild my stock 1.8 dizzy than use the 009. Although, with the 009 I can replace the springs with something else to get a better advance curve (maybe?). Any way I can change the total advance on it? Messing with the stop plate comes to mind, but I don't want to destroy a good distributor to experiment.

Any spring reccommendations? the Grey/grey springs used in the mallory units, or are those a different size/length?

As for the stock unit I have, the vacuum pots are fuch't... I think I can get 'em from Porsche, but I've yet to check.

I don't know anything about what model the 1.8 uses, but I just picked up a rebuild kit for my 2.o djet from these guys

http://www.allzim.com/

Kap'n krusty said to ask for a rebuild kit for a cast iron dizzy for a 356. They also had the bushings for the shaft. Model number on the parts strated with NLA so they may be limited.

Even if the dizzy's are different they will probably be able to help you.

P.S. I know crap about dizzys so take it with a grain of salt

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) Anyone know if I can re-curve this 009 with different springs?

I have ONE suitable NEW vacuum can left. I can also supply a new breaker plate. If you need the fiber washer or the metal ones, for the shaft, Stoddard had (had?) rebuild kits for 356 distributors that have them. The bushings don't usually wear out, but there are Volvo parts that fit. Dunno the part number, though. Generally, the breaker plate and vacuum capsule fix 'em. The Cap'n

I thought you could only run a mallory if you had Carbs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Brando,

Unless you put the dizzy on a distributor machine.

You won't know if it has the proper advance curve.

I know a guy that is familiar with ACVW that has a dizzy machine.

I don't know the cost.

I highly suggest you think about that as an option.

Just a thought bro.

Well actually there is somebody (wish i was involved in it) making a drop in module for the mallory that uses the optical trigger to trigger the injectors for djet.

Update,
I put a 009 on there for the time being. Set it and it runs great now. No more flat spot between 2000 and 3500 rpms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
