I have a 1972 vw 1600 with a dual barrel holly carb on it. Would a 009 or a vacuum distributor work best for my engine? thank you!

Do you mean a Holley bug spray? A german 009 should work.

My guess is a Weber Progressive.

In any case, when you start moving away from the stock carburetor you are limiting your choice of distributors since the vacuum distributors need the correct signal from the carburetor in order to work as designed.
