<x-flowed>DavidY=> I am in fact missing two pieces, listed as #17a or #18.

These bits are quite rare anymore, and few engines carry them. They do 
help with maintaining the integrity of the cooling system, but they're 
not critical. Unless your engine was original and unmolested, it's 
unlikely that you had them in the first place. It's not hard to cut flat 
sheet metal and make your own.

It's standard procedure for a chromer or powder-coater to provide an 
inventory of everything you've turned over to him, to prevent this sort 
of concern about lost parts.

=> Could somebody explain the procedure for setting the advance at max 32?

Set the dial on the light to 32, and turn the distributor until the TDC 
mark appears to be at zero. (With an 009 you should get full advance 
much earlier than 3500rpm, btw.)
