I just got an old german Bosch 009 distributor. When I cleaned it up and could see inside the body, it turns out there is only one advance spring inside? It looks like there is a matching spring post, 180 deg from the one spring. Is it okay to use this distributor to get my engine started? Is that some kinda performance mod, removing a spring? or do they only come with one spring?
Anyone know or have a link that shows a cut-away of a 009? and how to remove the plate that the points bolt to?
TIA
