Most Type 4 folks find the 009 to be worthy of the float test... throw
it in the lake and if it floats, consider testing further. The 009 is
great if you like flat performance, impossible idle, and higher
emissions.

Your best bet, if you aren't going to pop for the Mallory CD ignition,
is the stock Bosch 205; add a Pertronix Igniter, use stock plugs etc.

Hello from Atlanta, Ga.  It sounds like it is the Brazilian Bosch one
without the vac advance that Bus Depot sells...  I have two '81's and
have
replaced both  my distributors with that model, and I am very pleased
with
the performance and the price.  I also have passed Atlanta's stringent
annual smog inspection two years in a row.

Regards,

Michael S. Nichols
