Electronic Ignition

IGNITION CONVERSION KIT for 009 DISTRIBUTOR! Convert standard ignition into an electronic ignition with this conversion kit!

Key Features:

Eliminates points and condenser.
Dust and water resistant
Flawless ignition performance with no points to "bounce"

Must be used with a coil with an internal resistor or an external ballast resistor.

This kit is for the 009 (after market) distributor on the following cars:

VW Beetle and VW Super Beetle 71-79
VW Bus 71-79
VW Karmann Ghia 71-74
VW Type 3 71-73
VW Vanagon 80-mid 83
VW Thing 73-74

In an electronic ignition system all of the spark plug firing
is directed electronically. There are no moving parts in an
electronic ignigion system, so nothing to wear out. The
fuel and air mixture is ignited optimally so starting is more
reliable in an electonic ignition system. Plugs last longer.
Wear out of points, which results in decrease in "dwell"
period, is no longer a problem when you install electronic
ignition.However: to guard against the small possibility
of a system failure (rare with our electronic ignition) which
would kill the car, we do recommend carrying a set of
points and a condenser.

Important Information

A distributor is one of the essential parts of your VW Beetle’s ignition system. The distributor facilitates electricity throughout your VW Beetle’s ignition system. Every time you start your VW Beetle, your distributor and distributor parts are generating electricity. If you have a problematic distributor your engine won’t start or could fail in use. On this page, we offer complete distributor systems, distributor clamps, and hardware for your VW Beetle.

About the “009 Distributor”
This is the most popular and economical replacement VW distributor. It is a centrifugal advance distributor, lacking some of the advanced features of the vacuum distributors. Properly tuned up the 009 distributor is a reasonable and effective replacement. But you do have to follow the timing procedures in order to be satisfied with the performance of this distributor. There is an excellent set of 009 distributor procedures fully described and detailed in several VW web advice pages. Just go to your search engine and bang in “timing the 009 distributor” and you will be able to print out excellent advice on using this VW distributor.
