The use of a 009 or 050 on a street engine will raise the oil temps 20 degrees on the highway, compared to a combination cent/Vac distributor, not to mention MUCH higher head temps. The use of a 009 or 050 on a VW/Porsche street engine is the biggest myth of an "improvement" you can do to your car.

In your situation, simply tie both vac ports (1 and 4) together with a T, and run it to your vac port on the stock distributor, or get a Mallory with the grey/grey spring combo, I $ back guarantee you'll gain 10hp over any other distributor. Jake Raby has never seen under 10hp on his dyno, by changing from a 009 or 050 to a mallory, so if you don't believe me, ask him.
