I have the 009 distributor on my 1991 2.1 with the
correct rotor and cap.  What I can highly recommend is
the Pertronix pointLESS ignition (
http://www.pertronix.com/ignition/ignitor/index.htm ).
Be sure to specify the one for the 009.  it is is VERY
easy to install.

I have this set up and, in the past 4 years the van's
dwell has NEVER changed off the 48 degrees!!!!!  This
unit will pay for itself in the short run by NEVER
having to do that part of the tune up AND the engine
will run better as the timing will not change as the
points wear.

Re the timing problems and the 009, (the very
respected) Bob McDonald (of Boston Engine) has a few
words to say about that at:
http://www.bostonengine.com/articles/009.html

And yes, My van also has a 2 barrel Weber carb, and
the van runs fine, same fuel economy as other syncro
westies.  Malcolm
