apparently, nearly all retard coming in at once is a function of the soft spring used in saab's capsules. what i have been told is that by allowing the arm more travel with the stop mod, you are also increasing the retard spring's rate as it lengthens, which in turn allows for a more gradual application of retard. this is the theory anyway; i do not know how it works in practice.
the later distributors ending in -010 have capsules with a stiffer retard spring that allows for more gradual retard. these capsules are apparently not available in the U.S. anymore - the part is not listed in saab's epc and numerous emails/calls to bosch parts sellers could not find them either. tests i conducted with accurate pressure/vac gauge reveal that the only difference between the 010 and similar 008 distributors is the capsule.
