While on the subject of pointless ignition.....
I saw two such setups at the local junkyard recently. Both were almost the
same. The dizzy itself along with all hardware were by NipponDenso ie off some
Japanese engine. The pointless setup was probably jap too. Didnt look too hard
since I dont want any non VW parts on the cars.
i guess a lot of things would have gone haywire if I go for such a setup.
Asad.
