Does anyone have electronic ignition on their beetle?
Does it perform better?and what is the best kit to use on a 75L?
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?
just variable dwell
i've failed to notice all the improvements they claim it makes
you need to a get a system like this http://www.compufire.com/vw-products-main.html
it is like the good stuff that subaru use ah Joel and they cost about the same as a Subaru engine
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.
