Wow. I just replaced my 009 with the SVDA on my T1 convert (1641 DP w/ progressive carb), and what a difference. That bog at low RPMs is almost dissappeard. I think I just have to tweek my mixture a bit more to get it gone entirely. Amazing how the 009 was considered the best way to go back when I rebuilt my engine (1995). Thanks to Aircooled.net for making this available. Having the Petronix give me peace of mind that I won't ever have to play around with points anymore. On an aside, there are 2 vacuum ports on the progressive, a large one and a small one. I used the small one for the vacuum advance, and left the large one plugged, and it seems to run right. Does this concur with others using the Progressive with a vac-advance distributor? Linus
What a difference SVDA makes!

SVDA = Single Vacuum Double Advance Distributor with one vacuum connection
Dp = Dual port Heads with two inlet ports, look for the three piece inlet manifold with cast aluminium ends.
1641cc is the displacement of an engine with larger bolt on cylinders.J.
