I didn't realize they were that different.  When I switched from the 
Webers (without the tin) to stock '67 Solexes I used FI tin because 
that's what I was able to find.  It was a tight fit but it did fit.

By the way, I pulled the 009 and installed the stock '68 FI 
distributor.  The stock distributor provides much smoother 
acceleration.  It is a lot more comfortable to drive.
