As I  dive deeper into the Squares Engine, it seems that it has the 
incorrect  distributor. It has an 009. The correct one would be a vacuum advance 
unit  with the correct curve for both idle and advance. The engine is a 1600 
with  duel Solix 32 PDSIT. The left carburetor has the vacuum  fitting.

Question, Which distributors should I be looking for? I have  one from a 
912 in my bag of stuff.

Two, any sellers out there?

I  believe once the correct distributor is installed and the engine timed, 
the  idle can be lowered to where it should be.





What you're looking for is a 311 905 205 F. An E or N will also work. These 
 are vacuum advance only distributors. You'll have to search the Samba  
classifieds for 1 though. 
What I'm running on my 65 with dual Solex carbs is an SVDA from  
Aircooled.net . I don't exactly know the part number, but it does have both  
mechanical advance, and vacuum advance. If you don't like the 009, an 019 is a  
better choice, but they're harder to find. 
 
Leave the one for the 912 in the bag, or sell it to someone who's looking  
for 1. ;-) I hope this helps.
