So far so good,ive no toys to play with so i bought a Sigma dissy to play with and adapt to a type 1,shortened the housing and drive shaft cut off the large slotted plate that was used for adjustment and drilled the 4mm hole to attach the beetle offset cog.Ive trial fitted and it looks and feels great,who knows it might even work anyway if it does work ile be very surprised,good value to $70 for electronic dissy and coil.

Keep us updated on how it goes?

How large is the cap compared with a 009? Just wondering whether it'd be suited for a CDI install due to less chance of crossfiring.

Also is the non-retarded no. 3 cyclinder and issue if you're running a doghouse?

Hi

They have large cap, like and old 40 hp bug. The Sigma uses a seperate control box/module, the carby magna has the module attached and Im using an EFI magna one on my bug as it has TDC and piston position which my computer needs as a reference.

Yeah Bugmeister,its a large cap its 92.5mm at its widest pt and 80mm for the housing compared to 73mm and 63.5mm on a 009.The hgt from case to top of cap is 164.5mm and a 009 is 138mm.Its pre 88 something anyway i forgot to check, it also has centrifugal and vacuum advance with a module on the side.

Its alive,but not driven yet,have to make up a clamp(slight miscalculation) i cut the shaft a few ml to short.

Ouch!!! You must have forgot the old saying, "Measure twice, cut once".
