Get a rebuild kit for your distributor and install a Compu-Fire. It is a
computer controlled module that sits on top of the current distributor and
Eliminates the cap, rotor, points, etc.  It has two coils that fire directly
to the plugs. NO Voltage loss to worn out rotors. It is under $180.  Look in
Hot VWs for the best price, check shipping costs also some shops add extra to
shipping.


It is similar to crank firing ignition system, but it goes off the
distributor rotation.


It is much better than the "points only" upgrades because it also eliminates
the problematic cap and rotor.  I wish VW did that with the Digifant, I do
not like replacing caps and rotors and the spark voltage loss....
