I would like to know if anyone has tried to install an electronic ignition for a 1970 914/6? Such as Pertronix? I or II? Or what else is out there? I want to keep it looking original, but have heard the reliability of the Pertronix can be an issue. Is it worth getting a new coil as well? Any thoughts and/or experiences are appreciated.
Also I am looking for a "readable" 1970 914/6 electrical schematic. Any hints? Thanks |

If you're not worried about originality I'd go with the Electromotive Crankfire kit. It eliminates the distributor all together & once set stays spot on time providing great ignition & solid reliability. Please ignore my filthy carbs, they're next on my list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
