[T3] electronic ignition question

[crash 69]

Exactly as Dave says.  Let me add that points degrade gradually, so it will
still run (roughly) when it's wearing out.  Electronic is either working or
dead, no in-between.  So, you should either carry a spare e-unit or extra
points and all accompanying hardware in case of failure.

The new aircooled.net site
http://vwparts.aircooled.net/SearchResults.asp?Search=ignition has great
info.  Good luck!
