Also the 009 type does not retard the #3 firing, that only happens with the early factory used VW stuff.
The 009 and 050 Bosch can be made to work well but again there only centrifugal advance not what the OP is looking for

I wouldn’t bring the 009 into this discussion. It’s a centrifugal advance distributor but needs a carb that is properly matched. 009’s are very particular.
Most carburetors are designed for distributor advance, mechanical, centrifugal or manual. It’s best to match the distributor advance mechanism to the carb advance. Just because it fits doesn’t mean it’s appropriate.
