Re: [T3] 009 dizzy


<x-charset iso-8859-1>KenS=> What are its faults,

The advance curve is poor, leaving the famous flat spot on acceleration and
wasting torque. Build quality isn't what it should be, since so many are
made in Brazil, etc. Its main advantages are that it's easy to find and you
don't have to hook up a vacuum advance.

=> I know its not original.

You may know more than you've said, but you can't presume from this
configuration, as many Typ 3's were delivered with this setup in '69. I
think you'd be able to find a good stock vacuum-advance distributor fairly
easily. This would be better for a Square if you're using it as it was
designed (not fast, with a load) -- it would give you more torque in the low
rpm range.
