I'm not the expert others here are and I've just gone through a bit of an argument with my 009 but if I were building my motor again tomorrow, I would still use the 009. I always have and until I actually see something better, I probably always will. It's not expensive, parts are easy to come by and as for my experience with mine last week, there are plenty of folks (especially on this ng) who can talk you through any problems with it. Works good, lasts a long time.

if I were building my motor again tomorrow,

this is key: "until i actually see something better".... there are plenty better out there....WAY better...but unless you finally try one you'll never know and probably still be "happy"(relative) with your 009...but you are right, they are *cheap*....in every sense...

Every vac advance I have ever used has leaked and thats not a problem with the 009. I'm sure there is something better out there, I just don't have experience with it. I'm not knocking whatever is newer. At some point, I'd like to build a high hp motor with a cool cam and dual carbs and then I would go with a high power ignition system. But for a stock type motor, I like the 009, even with my 34 carb. After making a few adjustments, it now runs great and the famous "flat spot" is cured or at least dimished to the point that it's very drivable.

I must have missed the thread, can you post details of what you did to it or point me to the thread. I too have a OhOh9 and I have a Dual Vacuum that I have not installed. The Oh Oh 9 works ok for me as well, but am curious to try the Vac Dizzy.

I can't find the thread but the sites that were given to me are:

and:

Both nailed the problem and a combination of the fixes took care of me.

Thanks all, for your replies. Unfortunately not the ones i was hoping for.... can't hav'm all...:-))

I'll keep on searching and asking my way around here,

Thanks for your time guys Roger

I like my SVDA dizzy instead of a 009.
