Hi Dennis welcome to the list :-) Two things: (my opinions :-) 1) Don't use a 009 dizzy - they have no way of sensing the *load* on the engine - rpm is not what timing should be based on. The SVDA (single vac, dual advance) uses mechanical and vacuum so change the timing, usually leading to better performance and economy (depending on your driving style) 2) The freeway flyer does make the engine rev lower, which also makes for less cooling air being pumped. This may or may not lead to a hotter running engine. Allan W :-) New Zealand 58 Beetle 70 "Fonzie" 70 Squareback (It's getting darker...
