i have a mech advance dist and am trying to figure out if it is a bosch 009.
it doesnt have bosch stamped on it any where. it does have made in germany and the foolwing
908JF4
0231 178 009
086.
i am hoping to get a compufire but need a 009 apparently.

I am running an accufire (Which is the same thing) on a vacuum advance and it runs sweet.

But you need to time it with a strobe light and not static as you get very wierd resluts
