Hmm...is there some way to go Frankenstein on one of these distributors 
to combine the mechanical and vacuum advances?  From the brief glance I 
took at the 009 in the car in the garage, it looks like the housing has 
provisions for the vacuum canister.  No, I'm not sure how exactly this 
would work.  I'm thinking the vacuum advance would work on the contact 
points plate, while the mechanical advance would work on the distributor 
shaft itself.
