Re: [T3] electronic ignition

[Todd Daley <todd@datacom.ca>]

I have a new version pertronics in my car right now.... it is a 1600 cc, dual
solex, with an 009 .....  and the new version is a lot smaller than the old
pertronics version they used to have,  the old one used to need some
modifications to be  made to work with most VW distributors....... examples
include..... modifications to the rotor, to keep it from grinding away at the
pickup module, and modifications to the metal module base, to ensure that the
distributor was able to achieve full advance..xÐd"the base was interfering
with full movement......)
The new version seems like it would work as is with most VW dizzys.......
I carry a spare dizzy with points and condenser, installed, for less hassle in
case of failure......
I will be however doing some experimenting with a STOCK electronic ignition
distributor from an air cooled vanagon......
