Hi Rich- I'll be gentle... > but this goes against everything I remember. Stock dist is better than the 009 > dist? I've owned a dual carb fastback that had stock Solex carbs and a 009 when I bought it. It was originally FI with a carb conversion. The car did run better when I put a stock distributor in it. Others here have more experience than I on this.. > Stock coil better than Blue coil? YES. I told my story with the blue coil in an earlier post. > The stock FI is the best performing set up? YES. Especially since that is what you have on there now. Based on the picture you provided, it looks like your engine compartment is fairly tidy and unmolested. Don't be afraid of the FI just because you have experience with carbs. My current car is a '69 Fastback with all stock FI, and I really like it. With everything in good shape, it starts and runs very nicely. Once you verify that the FI system is complete and adjusted properly (we can help you with this! not much to it), you just have to keep the ignition system maintained (same effort as with carbs). You hear "FI is junk" from people who don't bother to learn about it. A lot of us here *have* bothered to learn about it, and we like to help others who want to do the same. Give the FI a chance. -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
