Hi I have blue coil in my vw T1 1974 1300 TW Motor, now i need new distrubutor and what would you recomend??
I have this in mind but not sure if it will work PER-D186504 - PERTRONIX VACUUM ADVANCE (SVDA) DISTRIBUTOR - COMPLETE WITH IGNITOR IGNITION MODULE
INSTALLED?
I hope to hear from you guys..thanks in advance Dean
Hi Dean
the blue coil needs to be measured for resistance as the Pertronix kits need 3 ohms resistance or more..
Blue coils are usually 1 or 2 ohms so they are NOT suitable..
The SVDA distributors are GREAT... the Best...
You just need a standard coil... 3 ohms or more...

Hi LEE Thanks for reply here and which distrubutor brand and model i need for this blue coil?? Have great day Dean
Same style distributor, only buy the distributor without the Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Module and save yourself some money.
If you do go this way, I recommend throwing away the crappy points they install and fitting a new Bosch set.
The modules are great, though. You MUST run a standard coil or you WILL blow the module up!
