Bugster,
I have enough space for a distributor, just not a good one. The "009" has a crappy curve and inadequate accuracy, especially when running 10.2:1 static CR.
I have the 911 fan and shroud, therefore not a lot of space on a type1. Yeah, you can fit an "009" in there, or maybe an SVDA(with my marginal vacuum) but back when I built the car the Mallory Unilite was the only decent distributor available. Today, we have MSD, Pertronix, and CB Magnaspark. But none of them will physically fit in the space, the distributor caps and bodies are too wide. So back then in 2006 or so I went for Megajolt and installed it and never looked back. Superior spark, accuracy, and control of the curve is what I need and have without a distributor.
Today, I am merely using my already-installed VR sensor to fire a VW smart coil-pack instead of the Ford EDIS coil-pack.
There is nothing wrong with the VW coil, it was merely my lack of knowledge that burned it out. Hopefully others will benefit from my noob mistake.
David, thanks for your help and instruction. Eventually I'll get there, and because of people like you I'll get it sorted sooner. This whole laptop tuning and programming thing will get clearer to me with time.
