Does anyone have electronic ignition on their beetle?
Does it perform better?and what is the best kit to use on a 75L?

Joel ·

depends what you want out of it

on a stock motor electronic igniton performs no better than properly set points
some say easier starting.... i call BS on that but i used to occasionally have probs in the wet with mine not starting with points

once u start hotting up the motor gains start becoming more noticable

most just like the set and forget properties but get a good quality one, cheap ones like empi have a high failure rate, at the most inconvenient times

i got a pertronix ignitor II and was happy with it

Whats the difference between an Ignitor and Ignitor II?

Joel ·

just variable dwell

i've failed to notice all the improvements they claim it makes

ive spoken to the guys about the ignitor 1 and 2 the main difference is that 2 if the ignition is left on doesnt do any damage to the unit while the ignitor 1 is a little tempramentle

This is what's on my bug and I haven't noticed any difference at all it still goes just as hard as what it did before.😂
Just now I don't have to worry about points anymore.
