no VW shops in Bowling Green, and the VW guy in Louisville likes using points. Go figure

PS: Politely ignore the crowd that tells you YOU WILL DIE if you use a Pertronix, they work fine. You might be asking for trouble if you leave the key on with the car not running, but that is the case with points also.

make sure you have the correct coil with the right internal resistance before you burn up the points replacement. what is the problem? hard to get the dwell right? point relacment isn't going to help if the distributor is shot.

yeah i think the dizzy is shot....but i dont remembering it swaying side to side. My feeling is that the little pill thing with grease just doesnt cut it....i'm going to try to time it one more time (with BOSCH dizzy grease) b4 i just rig it so it works. First time i set dwell...i put the points closed at the flat part of the lobe....ran surprisingly well too! I'm learning as i go along, last thing i had was a Jeep.

My car ran way better after I cleaned and lubed my distributor. I had the same problem with wandering timing and dwell.

so anthony let me ask you this then....if i go and take my dizzy out and clean it in my dorm....how hard is it to put back in? do i have to find TDC and push it for a mile and buy a voodoo doll in the shape of a 914 or what?

After you get the "Jesus" clip off it is all down hill.. Why the name for the clip? Because when it goes flying off the shaft you say "Jesus where'd that go"?
It would be cheaper to buy my Vaccum advance/ retard unit with FI points already rebuilt. PM me and I'll hook you up. Unlike the relays you want this one working right? |

Removing and reinstalling the dizzy is really easy if you set it to TDC ahead of time. I didn't find taking the dizzy apart and putting it back together that hard but getting the advance weights right was a little tricky.
