I am reading online at the following link http://www.marksbugbarn.com/shop/partsByModelList.php?selectYear=137&id_ ctg=21 about vacuum advance and non-vacuum type distributors. My new engine came with a distributor that looks like a new one and has "009" stamped on it. So that would make it a non-vac.advance type distributor, right? With that in mind, and keeping in mind I don't yet have a coil, or wires, should I replace that with this one? (I have 2 Weber carbs, not sure how the vacuum plumbing should work, or if it will work at all with 2 carbs instead of one. Should there be a "tee" where the vacuum will average out? Wouldn't this look like a vacuum leak if one of the carbs has more suck than the other one?). I was also interested in the Pertronix electronic ignition, but unsure of going over to the "dark side"! Perhaps stock and relatively simple might be best? (quotation follows...) VWC-043-905-205 Distributor, Vacuum Advance This is a 100% new - OE Quality single vacuum advance distributor. This distributor provides mechanic advance along with the vacuum advance for a smooth and reliable service. The advantage of this type of set up over a standard 009 Bosch distributor is - NO MORE FLAT SPOT when you take-off from a stop sign. The combination of a new 30 or 34-PICT carburetor and our new vacuum advance distributor will give you the smoothes driving experience you have ever had in your Beetle, Ghia or Bus. This distributor also works with all 1972 and later Bus/Van 17-2000cc engines with stock intake systems..........................This distributor WILL NOT work properly with aftermarket carburetion systems unless a correct vacuum port is installed into one of the carburetors. DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF, only an expert with proper experience on the brand of carburetor you have will be able to tell you if this can be done, and how to do this. Any engine with a large duration cam shaft will not have sufficient vacuum at idle to make the vacuum advance distributor work correctly...................Comes complete with cap,rotor,points and condenser. Ready to install. Will work properly with any 13-1600cc Beetle, Bus or Ghia engine with the stock 30 or 34-PICT carburetor. If your original distributor is dual vacuum, then you will need to cap off the vacuum retard side, and only run the vacuum advance from the side of the carburetor. To upgrade to Pertronix or Compu-fire electronic ignition, see part numbers PER-1847 or C22-21101.........Uses the following replacement tune-up parts: Points: BOS-1-237-013-044 Rotor: BOS-1-234-332-215 Condensor: BOS-1-237-330-220 Cap: BOS-1-235-522-056 Stephen J.
