I just read this on CIP1 about their vacuum advance SVDA distributor:


This distributor WILL NOT work properly with aftermarket carburetion systems unless a correct vacuum port is installed into one of the carburetors. DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF, only an expert with proper experience on the brand of carburetor you have will be able to tell you if this can be done, and how to do this. Any engine with a large duration cam shaft will not have sufficient vacuum at idle to make the vacuum advance distributor work correctly.





Im about to put a performance motor and dual 44 carbs in the bug. Does that mean i'm going to need to put a 009 in the car being the carbs won't have a vac port?

Weber IDFs have vacuum ports.

Also the 009 is not the only mechanical distributor, the Bosch 010 works well in a performance engine.

Pretty much unless you go something like Megajolt, which is probably better than any distribuitor out there...
