The OE SP wiresets have the best dist cap connectors that you will ever find anywhere. Never throw those away. All the other parts can be replaced individually, even the wires. I have wire here that I can sell by the foot. Don't bother with the Bosch Blue coil. You don't need the advantage it gives you, and the OE coil is more reliable. The Berg full flow system is a good idea and a good product, but you really need to be in the middle of a complete engine rebuild to install one in a type 3. > I am hoping to at least get road worthy in time for Hershey.

Fix it before you make plans to take it on the highway anywhere. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
