009

I noticed California Imports was offering a replacement for the Bosch
009 for about $40. I did not know other manufactures made an 009 clone
for the vwac.

saw a thread on Thesamba about these distributors...come in a box designed
to LOOK like a real Bosch , but are manufactured in China, and of
questionable quality...but no personal experience from me....plus i just
bought a Mallory Unilite...<G>

I love my Mallory Unilite too. Well-built, adjustable, even available
with a vacuum advance mechanism. Plus, it just looks kewl.

so far i only love the look of the mallory unilite(with vac advance) because
i have yet to install the grey springs and install it...is the rotor button
on your Mallory really tight on the shaft?

I remember it being initially very tight on mine as well. Somehow, with a
whole lot of patience, I managed to get it off in order to change out the
springs. I don't remember if I used some sort of tool to help pry it off
the shaft. But please be very careful if you decide to use something
besides your own brute strength.

thanks Geoffe for the reply...i saw no means of mechanical fastening, so i
was assuming(yeah i know) that it was pressed on...have not even thrown the
brute force to it yet...but i will...<G>

Yes, the rotor is firmly pressed. To get it of, catch it with your fingers
from the edges of the black disk, at four locations (eg 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock)
and pull it out evenly. It will not come off very esily, but you won't have
to use any brute force either.
