Thanks for the detailed message.

Right, but I assume that even though I have a 71 dual-carb it will still
work, right?

Now this question may sound dumb, but here goes: one of the condenser cables
is broken off from the plastic bit that holds onto the dizzy (there seems to
be two coming out of the dizzy), can I pull the condenser out of my 009, if
it's a bosch, and use it on the new dizzy?

The engine seems original (has not been overhauled, but I could also be 100%
wrong) and I believe the 009 was added as an "upgrade" (hehehe)  The last
time I checked the timming it seemed to be correct, i.e. The distributor
drive was set as a t3 with the correct firing order and the dizzy pointing
to the correct plug (as far as I can tell looking at the Bentley and
Haynes).

OK, I will make sure is well seated.

Thanks.
