Re: [T3] 010 Dizzys

I've been running an 010 on my 1641 for some time, and the performance has
been pretty good, much better than the 009 (which in my opinion is junk).
I'm convinced that any mechanical-advance-only distributor will exhibit some
sort of flat spot on acceleration, however. This is not a huge problem for
street racers, but for daily drivers it can be annoying.

If your carbs have a vacuum takeoff for advance, it would be worth your
while to experiment with your stock distributor. I'm currently using a stock
AH distributor from a late FI engine, and I'm finding much smoother
acceleration from low rpm. I'm also looking at the possibility that the
engine will run a little cooler while cruising and vacuum is low.
