Re: what Distributor ?
When it was made it was fitted with an electronic distributor and the best one for the engine.
009 distributors are centrifugal advance only distributors intended for constant speed industrial engine or higher revving engines not really that good for road use.
The original electronic distributor is very reliable more often it is the ignition amplifier is at fault.
Best to check it out properly to find the fault rather than play parts darts.
