 |

I am about to swap out my tired 009 for a 019, does it directly drop in the same as 009 spot and position?

Pretty much... just set the engine up on TDC on #1 to make thing easier. Then install the 019, rotate the body so the rotor points to the #1 mark and put the wires on 1-4-3-2 clockwise. Connect your timing light and set the timing to 30 BTDC @ 3500rpm.

If I understand, the new distributor won't slide but about halfway in?
Try this, assembly lube on the shaft around the o-ring gasket. If that doesn't work, you can sand a bit of the thickness off the new o-ring gasket. Do that carefully and it only take a little. Use 400 grit sandpaper.
The new o-ring is thick compared to the old compressed one. You can reuse the old o-ring on the new dizzy.

No, that's just how Dave (Blankmange) has them set up on his Square. Mine face the otherway too (like yours).

If I remember correctly that engine was built by Russ Wolfe.

better curve than the oo9, plus no more flat spot... swapping out a oo9 for a 019 made a world of difference in a tired 1600 in my square...
oo9 is a quick-fix for a distributor -- they were not meant to be in a daily-driven car; they are fine if you are at WOT all the time, but who is?
plus, I have both of my 019 Screamer's autographed:

GR, (Glenn Ring). The guru of 019 and 010 distributors.

Glenn rebuilt an 019 for me and installed a set of Pertronix electronic points. It made a big difference over the 009 in my 1968cc motor.

| so the 019 is the right distributor for a daily driver? I had to put the 009 back in my car after it caught on fire but the flat spots are killing me. |

usually, yes -- depending upon what engine you are using in your daily driver...
