Had to remove the drive dog on the bottom of the distributor and rotate it 180 degrees to get to match VW spec but after that it worked fine.If you have the right kind of fuel pump there is plenty of clearance for adjustment. Good advance curve.

This is a nice upgrade to the points based version. The rubber seal needs to be replaced by a standard rubber seal. You will have to re-arrange your plug wires because the electronic unit on the side requires you install it a certain way. You will also have to buy caps and rotors made just for this unit. The standard VW ones do not fit. I am hoping this will be the only electronic unit I will need for the beetle.
