Either will work, but it would be somewhat interesting to get the VW number off the side of the dist if you ever have it out. Then you could tell what it originally came with. > I didnt check it with a tach this last time, but the other day with the idle set > to approx 850 it would drop to 800, or a touch below, then bounc up to 900, then > back to 850. I am sure some of that is needle bound on the tach/dwell meter, at > least in the upswing. If it is only +/- 50 rpm, then this is pretty normal.

I will check again at the battery to verify though. You can do it at the generator, you will just expect the voltages to be about 1/2 V higher there. Make sure to measure it at a high enough RPM that the voltage has plateaued (is under regulation.) If it is under 14V there, that's slightly low, but not horrible. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
