What Brand, Electronic conversion for 009
Hi there, I have a Pobjoy built 2007 in my 71 Super and am interested in converting my 009 distributor to electronic. What brand conversion is best to
use. I have been advised that some have been known to stop the car while travelling. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

While I agree that for the most electronic ignition is better than points, I dont believe the Pertronix, Compufire, Empi drop in points are woth it

My distributor shaft, points cam and bearings were all completely worn out so I bought a complete Pertronix "Fireball" distributor from vwparts.net.
It's worked fine for me so far, but I haven't done many km with it yet.
