Im not a fan of the electronic systems because the ones sold for our

I had a Compufire clone (EMPI skinpack, probably from Taiwan) that died within two *days*. After that I went back to points, then to OE Vanagon electronic ignition system .. but the distributors won't work with D-jet FI, no trigger points.

For whatever it's worth, though, the Vanagon setup in my T1 hasn't had any
problems in three years, and it's 100% used junkyard parts.
