I ran a Porter ignition I bought off ebay about 5 yrs ago, but I don't know if they still sell to the public. It is an awesome and simple ignition system. My favorite however is a Crane XR700 optical ignition from Crane of course :) which is in my 77 Westy. It is incredibly reliable and if Jim Thompson (OldVolks) says it's good, (which he does), then it's GOT to be good. Jim doesn't give recommendations easily. Mark Dearing likes them too. Can't beat those for recommendations. Good luck, Courtney

How hard is it to install the electronic ignition and do you have any reccomendations of brands and where to purchase? I'm sure I will have more questions as I progress. My bug has not been driven for about 18 months and I am in the process of getting her started, tune up, oil chnage all the little maintenance stuff and I figured since I am doing all that I might as well convert to electronic ignition.....
