Yes, remember...  the 009 (the original one) is for a constant RPM
industrial engine, nothing like the use a street engine see's.

True, the German 009 is a quality built distributor . The Mexican and
Chinese built units are a crap shoot. Some advance more than others. In any
event, even the best 009 lacks the curve of the correctly matched
distributor.  And if memory serves me right, the correct distributor also
retards the timing on the number three cylinder to help prevent over heating
of it.

Hi there
With Solexes and a stock engine, the German 009 is a perky and easily set
choice, particularly with the Pertronix module.  An 019 cast iron unit would
be my first choice, but the German 009 is also very reliable, as Mr. Fye has
implied.
Clearly, they are not the best choice for most built-up engines and
obviously not even an option for FI, but they're not the boogeyman they
often are labeled.   Their shortcoming is a very limited, (20*), curve.  So,
the initial setting needs to be more advanced, (even at sea level), than
other dizzys with greater curves, the 010, 018, 022 and BR4.  But, none of
those are optimal for stock, carbed VW engines with stock, or near stock
cams.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
FE Meek
