009 Electronic Ignition Distributor

Classic Aircooled VW Distributors parts by Limebug

The 009 distributor can be considered a one size fits all. Originally intended for use on industrial engines, it's an all-centrifugal distributor, with the advance increasing as the engine revs increase, giving full advance at around 3000rpm.

This distributor solves the problems encountered when fitting after-market carburettors, which often lack the correct vacuum signal for a standard VW all-vacuum distributor. As such it's proved its worth again and again on the race track. The 009 is ideal if you've been having trouble getting the correct timing with your original VW distributor and don't have a suitable vacuum port on the carburettor(s).

Although the 009 can work with most air cooled VWs, it can lead to the infamous '009 flat spot' around 2000-2500 rpm. This can sometimes be reduced by adjusting the carburettor, but that usually results in increased fuel consumption.

Please note: To be used with a Standard or Uprated ignition coil, with a resistance reading above 1.4 ohms. Not suitable for use with copper HT Leads
