Thought I'd look out some spare points condenser etc, looked on Cool air and vw heritage, but can't find anything for type 4 engine. Not sure what engine I've got 1800 or 2000, are the points etc, the same?Where do you get yours from?
Depending on which distributor you have but I bought the 1600 points from one of the usual suspects for my 2ltr type 4.
From 1971 points & condensers where pretty much standard across the range, points are 311 998 063, just the length of the condenser lead was different but 021 905 295 or 256A are the usual fits.
The Stock DVDA dizzy on the Type 4 and T25 aircooled is pretty solid Have been told they last forever as the electronic bits are outside the dizzy on their own heatsink and therefore get kept nice and cool.
what I meant was, ....was the OE system giving you troubles, or was it bought on a whim? I've got a 1970's /80's Sparkrite, piggy back electronic system and seems to work a treat, with an electronic / std switch
How do you know if the vac advance is working? If you remove the dizzy, and the vac pipe from manifold end, and suck, will / should you see the plate move at all? Or is that too simple
Or don't remove it and give the vac pipe a suck while the engine is running, the timing marks should move as you suck.
