The 034 SVDA (Single Vacuum Dual Advance) is similar to the 009 but in addition to the centrifugal advance, also features a vacuum advance facility giving an extra 10-12 degrees of advance. This allows it to 'sense' the engine load, adding some advance when necessary. This eliminates the 009 flat spot and the extra advance when cruising on a light throttle saves fuel and leads to cooler running temperatures.

This is our recommended distributor for all air cooled VWs where a suitable vacuum port is present on the carburettor.

We've sold thousands of these to happy Volkswagen owners over the last 10 years.

Our SVDA works great with most  stock carbs*, Weber 34ICT, single or dual Weber IDF and dual Dellorto DRLAs**.

* Note that early cars with Solex 28 PICT or 30 PICT-1 do not work well with an SVDA
** With Dual twin choke carbs, the SVDA works even better if an anti pulse valve is fitted between the carb and the distributor.
