187.0. "Jacobs ignition for a '77 Beetle" by CHIPS::HOPTA () Thu Jan 30 1997 16:52

Is anyone still here?

I have driven a '77 VW Beetle conv. for about a year, now, and I'm 
interested in upgrading the ignition to a Jacobs BugPak.  It's a 
combination electronic controller/variable permeability coil that 
costs ~$250.  It's a lot like an MSD ignition.  I only want it to
make the car run cleanly (it eliminates nearly all misfires if you
believe the brochures) and increase the gas mileage. It claims 20%
improvement.

Anyone have any experience with them?

Dan, I don't have any experience with that iginition setup, but from reading the
type-3 mailing list, I've seen a few T3 people have installed them.  It seems 
like them, but I can't say if they meet all the claims.
