Once you stray away from stock configurations you are pretty much on your own. Now you get to become a carb expert. There are people here who can help you, but you may not find someone who has successfully sorted out exactly the same system that you have. > pick up is fine but leveling off at higher rpm it feels as if it is > missing.

First off, the timing depends on the distributor, so you need to know what your distributor does, Time it so that it stays under 30-32 degrees advance at its max. This may well be different from the stock timing at idle. I think you can get Pertronix ignitions to fit any of the VW distributors, but the short cap distributors are a lot more crowded. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
