Got this magneto in a box full of auto parts, and happens to be the only VW part in the whole box. I contacted Joe Hunt magnetos with the serial number and this was their response

"That Magneto was new in 1979 and hasn't been back here since then. It was for a VW Water Cooled with 24 degrees advance."

, so is this for a Golf or what would it fit?

That looks like the earlier size gear to fit the 1.5/1.6/1.7L motors. You could easily put the later gear to fit the 1.8/2.0L motors.

The teeth count on the gear is 17, if that would help identify it.

So what vehicles with these engines were available pre 1979?
