I think the thoughts of those who have spoken out about electronic ignition are exactly addressing your point -- that if you're looking for reliability, nothing beats points/condenser. Having no experience with elec ignition, my impression from the list is that when it's working, it provides optimum operation. But when it stops working (and it *will* stop working), you better be prepared to get out your ignition kit. > Why this group is so against new technology is > beyond me. Eh? Last I checked, most of us on the list are WAY onboard with FI, while some others want to "do away" with this great technology & go back to the dark days of carbs! :) (ducks and covers) > thinking it was the > dumbest idea I had ever had and yet, at least out > here, 99% of the cars > at shows have an 009 distributor (not to mention the > 65 bug I had years > ago), go figure (just one example). 99% of the people at those shows would probably tell you to ditch the FI for carbs if you had the slightest bit of trouble with them as well. I think there are probably a lot of things that "most people" do that aren't necessarily the best things for these cars, don't you think? :) Aaron ===== ----------------------------------------- Have you driven your Type 3 today? http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ ----------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
