This is with the stock FI dist. Not sure how a 009 sits in a Type III, it's my understanding this is really meant for type 1 and 2 applications. The retard for the #3 plug is built into the TIII dist. cap, so if the cap fits the same on the 009, it doesn't make any difference as long as the wires are hooked up right. You don't want to substitute bug or bus caps, either. That said, if you look at the Bentley book, the stock FI distributors have some pretty good curves as compared with the strictly mechanical 009.
