Was wondering if anyone has a link they used to do it.. or do most ppl keep the points for ease and simplicity? Also is there a kit eveyrone perfers? I see the Petronix kit, and that is the High end stuff, but if that is what is needed it will be on my list.
Thanks

I run points.
I like the simplicity and reliability.
I don't mine checking and setting the dwell and timing a couple of times a year.
I like having #3 retarded because I don't have a doghouse fan.
There are others who prefer electronic ignition. |

Adding the pertronix was one of the best things I've done on my bug. I also like its equal-firing scheme 'cause I dumped the stupid cook-#3 oil cooler. _________________ 1965 Type 1 sunroof Baja / about 70k miles on self-rebuilt '74 1600 and counting / SP heads and aftermarket valve keepers / non-doghouse shroud with external cooler and filter / 1.5 qt extended sump / Weber 32/36 DFAV progressive carb / 009 dist with Pertronix / 1.25 ratio rockers and ball adjusters / 1.5" stainless steel J-pipes and carbon steel baja exhaust |
