It really should have produced no change at all. Did you reset the timing after the installation? You should.

You should also verify that both the mechanical and vacuum advances are working properly. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
