John,
Thanks for the light reading

. I'm a fairly simple caveman (pull back on the stick=houses get smaller, push forward on the stick=houses get bigger), but I'm fairly convinced I need to get some work done on my Bosch distributor.
This point was very evident when I replaced the 009 dizzy on my 914 with a Mallory Unilite. The difference was dramatic, well... as much as it can be with a 914. With a change in camshafts and, as I read, 30 years of fuel "refinement", It's a smart thing to do.
Since I'm a card-carrying member of the Beaver State, I'll give that gentleman a call and see what his recommendations are. Thanks for the input.
Nate
