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* |

Mallory. Period.
I have over 100K miles on the cap and rotor fitted to the Uni-Lite in my 912E, it's been in service since 2002 and was only removed to test a direct fir system for 15K miles or so. The comufire system is NOT distributorless! It depends on the dizzy as the foundation AND advance curve, so all you end up with is a hotter spark, still have the crappy initial advance and advance curve. I only promote the MSD to my competitors, when they fail- we pass them. |
