I have the 009 with included flat spot. I have a Solex 34 Pict 3.

I wanna go back to vacuum advance. I can't remember what I had on before. Either a dual or single vacuum advance. I'm thinking the single vacuum advance.

I'm in CA so what came stock on a 73 Thing?

043 905 205, SVDA? or.....

I'll also need to get vacuum hose + a metal tube/fuel stop. Are those sold anywhere?

Thanks

chris

The 113 905 205AN (Bosch 0231 167 070) distributor was the stock part, but the new SVDA is good, too. Metal vacuum lines are out there. You could make one out of brake line too.
