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 |

The 914-6 already has electronic ignition, except for the points that are still
mechanical and will wear over time changing timing. Pertronix does exist for the bosch distributor. A long time ago pertronix didn't make one for the Marelli distributor, but I don't know if that has changed. If you are worried about pertronix failing you, then just use good bosch distributor grease on the points rubbing block, and every off season just put in new points, they're cheap. |
