Don't be afraid, it's really pretty simple. There's a total of seven wires
coming from the module. Three go to the distributor, two go to the coil
(one for each side), and one is a ground. The wire from terminal 7 was
listed as "unused" in the wiring diagram I was using ('84 Golf/Cabriolet)
so I clipped it short and insulated the end. The '78 is carburated, isn't
it? If so, ditch the idle stabilizer.
But you probably knew that already. =)

I've been researching a bit and kicking around the idea of transplanting
the entire Digifant system from a WBX Vanagon into a T3. The intake
runners should bolt to the aircooled heads, everything looks
straightforward, though I'd imagine there'd be some tinkering with the
sensors and such. I'm still researching, but it looks fairly promising.

Depending on where you live and your economic situation, some of the
replacement parts are already expensive and hard to find.
