Default Vac advance 009?

Cleaning my shop today I found an old distributor which has been on the
back of a shelf for 10+ years that I took off an old engine. Anyway
before I put it into the junk file, I checked the number which is 0 231
137 009. It is a vacuum advance 009. I did not know VW ever had a 009
mech/vac advance. Can anyone shed some light on this. It has the
standard VW logo to the left of the numbers and Bosch made in Germany on
the bottom. Dennis

It must have been off the 66' I gave to my son a few years ago. Anyway,
I always thought that a 009 Bosch was a centrifugal advance distributor
only and I was surprised to see one with a vacuum hook up. How did this
number designation end up on the two different designs?

It's just a quirk of the part numbering system.
