seagull:jesus

I ran one on a 2180 with 44 idfs, no worries. Never had an issue with it. Changed it to a 009 - couldnt feel any difference, car ran no better or worse.

To summarise, they are different, but I dont know how, I timed them at 3000 rpm to 32 BTDC, didnt take any other notice.

Hope that helps :-)

This is from aircooled.net

The 009/010 is best used for stock rod ratio engines, where you do not want to do all this customer ignition curve work. Let me first say that I'm not a fan of the 050. The 050 has a different advance curve, and it's more suited for short rod engines (like the type 4), or engines with a bigger crank and shorter rod (78 stroke with Porsche length rods, etc).

I mainly hear about them on Type 4 powered motors

I will have to supply Craig a 009 as I sent him this 050 incorectly ,I did not know I had one in stock .

So what do ya want for the 050?

At this point of time I will see if craig wishes to keep it .
I will put you first in line should he not ,is this ok with you ? seagull neil

I'm happy,

you'rre happy,

:bounce

Neil, steve can send you the money, I will send steve the 050, and you can send me the 009 !!!

Ok steve u have u2u regarding the dizzy

Craig I have now a 009 for you and will send it on Monday via air bag FIS .can I ask of you Please to let me know where you wish for it to be sent .Ta neil

i have used an 050 on my 1641 and 1916, over the 009, due to the recommendation of 2 vw mechanics and it has been great. i would definately recommend it

Ok I have sold the 050 to steve ,and my apoliges to craig for not looking at the numbers before I put them in the air bag :beer

so apart from being more suitable for a t4 or shorter rod ratio engine, what is the difference?

or should i saw why is it more suitable for this application.

if it is more suitable for this type of application, i am very curious, as it may be advantageous for me to use it on my t4.

just wondering whether anyone has an opinion as to whether this would suit my t4 better than the 009

bump

I have been asking so far no good sorry .

so steve - how does the 050 go?

is it going onto a t4?

still chasing info on this.

on the shoptalkforms everyone is telling me to get a mallory, but they seem like alot of work and very expensive.

.....bump. whats the 050 like?




anyone?

Haven't got it yet. Craig's sending / bringing it up with some other stuff when he's up this way again, so I don't know yet.
