Looking to swap out the points on my 74 2.0L to an electronic ignition setup. The car is a daily driver, but I do like to drive enthusiastically. Looking for a reliable setup with little maintenance/quirks.
What do you think is best out there? |

I've got a '74 2.0L that I've been running Pertronix Ignitor (not II) in for 2 years with no issues. I've also run that in VW's I've owned and have not ever had any trouble with them. Just make sure that you disconnect the coil connections if you have your ignition on for any length of time without starting the engine or it can burn out the module. The Ignitor II is supposed to solve that issue but you'll need to buy
the .6 ohm coil to go with it and better plug wires to handle the extra juice. |
