Lol
Correct is what people think rather than what it is.
The only way I can retire is when all of my old vw stuff turns to gold.
I can curve an MSD or a mallory easier than a bosch but get an svda for all
around street.

I have an 010 on the 1960 panel bus and it works great but is probably a
debatable issue as to whether it is totally correct for that engine or not. I
may take one of them, either an 010 or 019 and try on the baja, at least just
for experimentation on the advance curve.
None of these distributors appear to have any noticeable wear but I plan to
tear them all down and at least get them in good operating condition.
And Will, I don't have any personal experience with the guy you are talking
about (think his name is Glenn) but he supposedly pays $60 for a core 010. If
you got that many maybe you ought to sell out and retire.
Final note: he and some others swear that an 010 or an 019 is a much better
distributor than the 009.

The problem with the 010s and the 019s is most of them are rusty or are
worn out. What ever you do, don't send them to that idiot on theSamba
for "restoration." You can do a better job with a can of Krylon.
Anyway, I have about 30-40 of them about 10 are rebuilt and that will
probably last me a lifetime.
If you have an early 36HP bus, they're the way to go or if you want a
vintage performance look they're cool.
