JBugs - Installing a SVDA Distributor with Electronic Ignition

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/

We've had one of our employee's cars sitting in our shop for awhile now and as it is the midst of the summer here in Phoenix, it 's not like he would have been driving it regularly. We had some free time in between other projects and videos and now that fall is just around the corner we figure we might as well get some work done on it. So after replacing the stock carburetor and getting the 009 distributor that was in the car properly timed, we pulled the 009 distributor out so we could install a SVDA (Single Vacuum, Dual Advance) distributor that comes with an electronic ignition. The SVDA distributor is far better suited for driving than the old 009 distributor. Plus, the electronic points set up works considerably better than the old points and condenser style ignition with less maintenance.
