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.

> Looks like she got a SVDA distributor. If it is a solid German one that is great. It will give a drivable curve. There are a lot of questionable ones out there. It is the next best thing to the correct euro distributor. All should be good and another type 3 is saved, preserved, and being driven.
