I try to stick with an OEM carburetor, if possible. Electronic ignition is a good idea from maintenance and efficiency standpoints. I put electronic ignition into every VW I build, since it helps mileage and eliminates checking the points - but I always carry a set of points, condenser, and tools to install them if the electronic ignition dies - as it has for me on at least two occasions.
