1950-1979 VW EMPI Electronic All-In-One Single Vacuum Advance Distributor

Give your air-cooled VW a cleaner, stronger ignition setup with an all-in-one electronic distributor designed to make the most of every trip through the RPM range. The magnetic pick-up and amplifier are built right into the distributor, keeping installation straightforward while eliminating the hassle of a separate ignition module. A smooth advance curve begins at 1,000 RPM and delivers 18 degrees of mechanical advance by 2,400 RPM, backed by an additional 10 degrees of vacuum advance. That combination helps sharpen acceleration, reduce the familiar flat-spot when pulling away, keep engine temperatures in check, and deliver more usable power throughout the advance curve. An O-ring comes pre-installed, and the distributor is ready for 12-volt VW applications when paired with a Bosch Blue or comparable high-energy coil. It is a smart upgrade for the VW owner looking for better drivability and performance without making the ignition system more complicated than it needs to be.
