did it come off a vw engine to start with?
cos theres a model of volvo that uses a dizzy identical to a 1600 bug but it has factory electronic igntion
not even efi bugs had electronic ignition
the dissy was totally different on the mex bugs when they eventually went efi

not sure if they were originally off something else but they were offered to my old man by someone he normally deals with. looked like a 009 funnily enough but with the electric ignition.
ill ask some more questions i might even get him to send me some pics

put one in and killed it in 4 hours. apparently they dont like a lot of heat. i cooked it. i knew it was toast when i popped the cap and smoke was coming out.

used an electronic ignition coil. even ran it with the stock coil for a while as well.
some instructions in the pack might of helped but there were none

did it run ok for a while tho?
if so its probably for use with a ballast resistor type coil ie. GT40R and a ceramic resistor not a GT40

once again no instructions or specs given with the unit. it ran all right though for 4 hours.
im washing my hands of it and returning it.

I think it was probably overvoltage that killed it...

not temperature in the engine bay..

it may have used a different coil etc..??

regulator etc..

it did look good... and looked like a VW dizzy..
but without instructions and specifications etc...

many electronic pickups etc use low voltage

Oh well You tried...

cheers
