009 distributor
Different sources state different datas on the retard of the third cylinder....we've measured Bosch 009 and it fires spot on 90 deg. Is this right or
it supposed to be retarded?

they were only retarded on # 3 to reduce heat in that cyclinder as is was pre heated with the old style oil cooler inside the fan housing
with the advent of the doghouse cooler it reduces the hot air flow to this area
so hence the spark can be at 90 deg same as the other firing positions
