	There was a discussion on the Porsche 914's Forum section on this
subject a few years ago.  The postings should be available still.  I am
not sure which section of the forum it is in, though.  Sorry.
	Anyway, someone said that the #3 retard was eliminated when the
dog-house cooler setup was added.  So Type IV dizzy's, and the 009, do
not have this retard feature.  Pretty much anything you'd be putting on a
914.  (The 050 was not talked about much at that time.)
	It may take some looking, but check at <http://www.dgi.net/914>.
Click on the car icon above "Question", I think it may be in that section.
