you'll get better mileage with a vac advance, and since thats a super mild motor, if it was me, i would rock the vac adv all day everyday.

Agreed.

damn those 022's are not cheap

I should add that 050 and 022 distributors while some guys state that they run these with great success is not the right choice for a type 1 motor..

both of these distributors are designed for a type 4 motor and have 28 +/- degrees of advancement which means if you time it to the 30+/- mark at full advance when it falls to idle they will be close to zero... idling at and coming off idle near zero is not good at all for performance, heat, or proper function of the basic type 1 engine.

the answer to this question is your motor will benefit from the SVDA distributor like the ones made for the 34pict carbs( 034 ).
as the KAD's give a signal similar and use it well for low rpm accelartion and the centrifugal takes over up top.

as for the 010 it will work and came in early buses like the 019 .. but these motors were real 36ers very low power and lots of weight to move . so an aggressive curve provided the engine with much needed timing with load it was trying to move..


these (019,010) were found to be the "hot ticket" for racers with dual carbs and un useable vac signals who needed only centrifugal advance distributors... the two differ by only the amount of advancement which says the 019 is much more betterest for stock to mild motors and the 010 is betterer for upper mild to performance motors..

so Koysta and Doug need to swap! but the 019 needs to be rebuilt from what I remember.
I rebuild the cast iron distributors all the time so let me know if you need one cleaned up

Great info Tommie

Best pricing found for the 019/010 pertronix setup..

as they use a two piece points setup..

and they also use a different cap than the common 009 cap .

with the 009 try 35deg. BTDC @ 3000 -3500RPM. I have an 009 with a stock motor, I don't seem to have much, if any lag.

1600??

YUP!
