OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Static Timing Light
Static Timing Light, Voltage Tester Pen Style
Price: $6.95

With this tool, you can use the "Old School" method of setting timing. It's great for getting "close" or setting timing at idle. Alligator Clip ends ensure good contact.

Pertronix 40kV Flamethrower Ignition Coil, Chrome, 3 Ohm, Oil Filled
Pertronix 40kV Flamethrower Ignition Coil, Chrome, 3 Ohm, Oil Filled
Price: $59.95

Pertronix 40kV Flamethrower Ignition Coil, Chrome, 3 Ohm, Oil Filled fits in the stock distributor clamp for easy mounting, and is compatible with points or all points replacement devices (Compufire, Pertronix, Unilite, Crane,etc), with it's 3 Ohm Impedance. Proper coil impedance ensures no burned points or modules!

While it's the perfect coil to go with the PerTronix Ignitor breakerless ignition, the addition of this 40,000 volt Flame-Thrower canister coil can benefit virtually any distributor type inductive ignition system.

Its higher voltage allows larger spark plug gaps or firing through plug fouling. However, we ALWAYS recommend stock plug gaps, even with monster ignition system power.

This coil is internally resisted just like the stock blue coil so it is compatible with everything. You can use this with CDI ignition systems, though those systems run best with 0 Ohm Resisted Coils.

This coil is oil filled, which provides great heat control. High vibration applications (Off Road) should use our Epoxy Filled version of this coil.

6V Bosch "Blue" Coil (they are Silver now though!) Coil, US Version (0 221 124 001)
6V Bosch "Blue" Coil (they are Silver now though!) Coil, US Version (0 221 124 001)
Price: $69.95

6V Bosch "Blue" Coil (they are Silver now though!) Coil, US Version (0 221 124 001) is a factory replacement Bosch Blue Coil with the ~2 ohm impedence compatible with points, and points replacement devices, in 6V electrical systems. There are 5 DIFFERENT "Bosch Blue Coils" last we checked, only ONE is correct for you (This one). If you are running points, or a a points replacement device (Compufire or Pertronix), you MUST make sure your ignition coil has the ballast resistor. Stock Bosch blue coils have the 2 ohm ballast resistor built INSIDE the coil. If your coil or primary ignition winding doesn't have this ballast, the distributor will BURN UP and leave you walking.

These are CALLED a "Blue Coil", but Bosch has recently changed the actual color of the coil to silver.

Bosch Ignition Coil, 1983-91 Vanagon, 211-905-115D (00-061)
Bosch Ignition Coil, 1983-91 Vanagon, 211-905-115D (00-061)
Price: $79.95

Bosch Ignition Coil, 1983-91 Vanagon, 211-905-115D (00-061) is a Genuine Bosch Ignition Coil for factory electronic ignition in 1983-1991 VW Vanagons. These coils are different than the internal ballast Bosch Blue Coils used on earlier models. These fail from repeated exposure to heat and vibration. Often a coil will work fine under light loads, but will miss intermittently under higher loads (throttle). If you have changed plugs, cap, rotor, and wires, and still have a miss, the ignition coil is the most likely suspect, with the Hall Sensor the 2nd one to look out for.

What is not fully understood by many is that the the coil usually tests out OK with the ohmmeter, unless it has already failed completely. "Ohms" won't tell you if the internal insulation has degraded which causes misfires once they get hot. So periodic replacement of this part is a wise move, most of them are well over 20 years old, so you just replace it because it's time.
