My buddy has a sandrail he's rebuilding and said he wanted to get this Compufire distributorless ignition system:
http://www.compufire.com/vw-products-main.html I have not seen this ever mentioned here but assumed it was comparable to the MSD systems and the Pertronix What are the pros and cons of each? Do they all have a special application? General Thoughts? Meaningless thread input? *he has a '72 Type 1 engine if it matters 1.6L* |

I have one .... never used it. Uses an 009 for trigger, but at least it has a chrome cover.
Looks good sitting in the box. Maybe someday I will pull the trigger mechanism out of the 009 and put it in a useful distributor. And then again, maybe not .... like I said, it's purty in the box. |
