I believe they originally were used on industrial engines. I have had one on the car since I bought it. Not ideal, and there is a little flat spot of idle for me. I'll be replacing it with one from a 1.8L soon, to try that out.
Yes that's correct used on and latter 12 and 1600 T1 motors and the T4 1700 industrial stationary engines,I'am unsure what the T4 used for a governor system but the T1 motors used a belt driven system off the crank,the use of the 009 was ideal for this application as these engines only used idle and full throttle.
These motors ran pumps ,generators, etc normally via a Getrag reduction box with a hand operated clutch,due to running @ lower max RPM they were very durable and many were sold.
I have previously owned a T1 1200 and 1600 industrials and still have one of the reduction boxes.
