The car used to have a lot of pep, but now, with setting the timing according to Rob & Dave's instructions, is running rather weak. If this is the flat spot that people refer to with the 009 distributor, then I can see why this dizzy isn't the prefered setup.Screwed up carburetor
Screwed up carburetor
Here's an interesting one for you: I recently pulled the engine out to install new engine compartment seals. So the engine is sitting on the floor of the garage a couple of days while I chisel and grind out the old rock hard rubber out of the groove. I happened to glance down the throat of the carburetor and I think I may have found out why the engine was running rich. Laying astraddle of the venturi was a 1l4 x 1-1/4 self threading screw that the bug aquired in a previous life!
