Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes, this ballast should work for either 34 watt or 40 watt. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Will this ballast replace a magnatek 438-l-tc-p that runs 2 t40 48" bulbs

Accepted Answer

This what you asked about: Magnatek 438-l-tc-p ballast that runs 2 t40 48" bulbs. What you must have meant was 2 T12 48" 40 watt bulbs. And the answer is "YES"... this ballast will run two T12 48" 40 watt bulbs. (T12 bulbs are standard 1 1/2" diameter bulbs. T8 bulbs are 1" diameter bulbs).

Question 3

Does this ballast have nine wires?

Accepted Answer

When counting ballast wires you don't add in the power wires. Because one ballast may have black white and green for ground. And a different may only have black and white because the ground is internal. This ballast has a total of 8 wires, but again don't add the power wires and it has 6 to the lamps. 2 blue, 2 red and 2  yellow. This is standard Rapid Start Wiring which is most common wiring in fluorescent lighting. So if you have a different brand, don't count the power wires and if you have 6, 2-red, 2-blue and 2-yellow this would wire exactly same.

Also another word of advice, don't try to count wires to see if its the same. There are plently of ballasts that are rare that may also have 6 wires to the lamps, but wire completely different with 3 yellow, 2 red, 1 blue and be for 3-4 light bulbs.

Question 4

will this ballast replace ADVANCE model RL-134-TP?

Accepted Answer

I can't speak for the particular ballast you mentioned.  I bought the one I got based solely on the number and types of lamps it was said to work with (in this case two 40 watt 4 foot long tubes).  I do recall the wiring diagram that came with it wasn't exactly like what was already in the fixture, but I did follow it.  Also, it was a somewhat different physical size than that being replaced and it was necessary to drill at least one new hole in the fixture so that, with one of the existing holes for the old ballast, the new ballast was held in place with two screws.
