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* |

What about the vacuum advance curve? It looks like the Compufire one uses the 009 distributor curve. Maybe there are others available. I think I remember Jake saying the 009 is not so good for our application.

The compufire is a retrofit for the 009, so it uses whatever advance curve is in the distributor. You might be able to use it on a standard 914 distributor as well. There might be some clearance issues to deal with, but it should be possible.
