Pretty big lump, by my reckoning. Points are definitely Bosch and I presume the condenser is too, it came w/your dist., Jim >Is this causing you any problem or are you just noticing this and >wondering if it means something. Keep in mind that there is a pit >opposite that pip and that the only thing that you need be concerned >with is that the dwell stay between 45 and 55. I cant tell if its causing me problems but I definitely wind up w/ the dwell angle opening up as high as 60 on a regular basis. It seems I have to correct it every two weeks. I tried screwing the points down looser, tighter, grease, etc. I just thought this might be contributing to the problem. Maybe I am just getting too picky but this ignition is driving me a bit nuts. In the am I start the car and it wants to cut out immediately. This is even with giving a blip of gas to the carbs before starting. I have to feather the pedal gently gently until it warms up enouh to warm up on its own. So. I'm trying to figure thi out and thought this might be a problem. Not to mention that this tit makes it hard to set the gap correctly. Thinking of going with the ventilated points after all. -Mike 72 Sqbk, 1600, dual Weber ICT 34s Brooklyn ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
