Has anyone tried the Gene Berg igniter on a type 4? It looks like a Honda coil and a small box but it uses points!
A customer has one on a type 1 bug, I took the points out after about a year and they did look like new. Sorry I don't have a pic, but here's their sales pitch, link at the bottom. Berg's Igniter Ignition Bergs new electronic ignition. This new Berg Igniter Ignition system still utilizes the original distributor and points, however, the points now become a trigger. The points see only .4 ohms of resistance so they never burn and they never go away. You still have to grease the cam lobe of the distributor, but the points stay good forever. This new system offers 450 volts of power to the plugs and comes with everything you need to install it; coil, wiring harness and the brain. Get the power of the old Stinger systems with the convenience of the stock distributor (be careful and make sure you re-jet as needed). This conversion kit is used in conjunction with the Bosch 009 distributor. SW 4# GB 624 Gene Berg Igniter ignition. http://www.geneberg.com/elctrcpg10.htm |
