I recently had a problem with my veedubb quitting out on me on the freeway, I changed all the fuel filters, replaced the fuel pump, flushed out the lines and tank and boiled out my carb.
The very next day the veedubb did the same number at almost the same place on the freeway and this time I removed and replaced my distributor, this is the old one and I noticed that it looks like I might have a missing spring on the number 2 peg, am I accurate in my assessment.

What's the part number?

009s have only 1 spring.

It's a 009 and should have only 1 spring... like the one pictured above.

You also need to find another place to host your pictures. They're not being displayed here.
