Electronic Ignition
recently purchased an 82 model Kombi 2.0 efi air cooled and would like to fit electronic ignition, has anyone had experience with the aftermarket kits
or am I able to use a complete unit from another model
Also in need of various rubber seals and a sliding door latch for the beast,recommendations for some parts suppliers please
While Im at it Id like to grab some information regarding building a new engine with view to carrying out some perfromance mods, any sites that
explain the various barrels , heads , cranks etc ?
I see many different names of products but have no idea the good or the bad 
Regards
voltz

I bought a kit from Wayne Penrose V.W bit over $200
brand is Pertronix , american made PER-1847. Installed it over 15000kms ago and haven't touched it since, best piece of mind ever installed.
It fits directly into standard dizzy and takes about 15mins .

You can order the pertronix kits directly from the U.S for less than $200

As a mechanic I can tell the difference between points and electronic ignition
My engine is not fitted with it
Perhaps they came standard with electronic ignitiion ( I dont know)

no worries
the more I find out about this vehicle the surer I am that the engine is not original, mine has adjustable tappets whereas Im led to believe this
model should have hydraulic,I might visit the VW dealership on Monday and try and find out exactly what should be original equipment
