I'm not sure what all the animosity is about the 009, apart from a flat spot in the power delivery when using one. I have one in our Fastback, and never really noticed a problem with it. The car isn't a rocketship to begin with, and being my first aircooled car I don't have anything to compare it to. I am going to be using an older carbureted Type 3 distributor with a vacuum advance on it when I rebuild the motor, just because in my experience with other street cars, vacuum advance distributors are a little more driveable.
