I have the 009 on my 1.8L and if the 050 is the way to go the I'll give it a shot.

No - FI users should use the dizzy that is specified for your car. The 050 has no vacuum advance and a different mechanical advance curve than the FI dizzy.
Most likely, you are mistaking the "009" mechanical advance distributor (Bosch part number 0 231 178 009) for your 1.8's FI distributor, which has the Bosch number 0 231 181 009 - this is not the same dizzy, it's confusing, I know. Even worse, the dizzy for the 2.0L D-Jet 1973's is a 0 231 174 009, so there are three 009 dizzy's!!! The "009" mechanical advance dizzy is commonly sold at Bug shops and has a limited advance curve, designed for constant speed applications (non-automotive).
