The only post I found is Rockrockets failed one. Ive got 2 of these nearly new so I have a backup. Its supposed to be as hot as an MSD which is a plus & I always carry a 009 & Bosch coil so if they both fail I can get out of the woods. Has anybody other than Rock used one & liked it?

is it a module inside the distributor, or is it a whole compufire setup control box wires pickup...etc?

when in doubt use the skinny pedal!

It has a cap that snaps on in place of the rotor & cap & sends a signal to the 4 coils.

Sounds like a pretty high dollar setup. if it has four coils that's some pretty hot spark. I don't see how that can't be good. I'll bet you never gas foul a spark plug!

Mofoco sells em for 200 bucks. Its supposed to put out 60,000 volts & for that money its a great deal. Its supposed to be run at Baja & takes the punishment so I guess Ill give it a shot.

If it's good enough for baja its got to be good for buggies! Keep us posted if you run into any trouble, but it sounds like a good setup for a good price. What does a msd setup of this magnitude cost?

I have one. never put it on . very good they say . Going to put on my new motor this spring .Let me know how it works hopefully very well

my buddy has one, personally im not too impressed with it. he did burn out one coil pack on it. buit he says he likes it alot. i dont know, i will stick with my msd
Dave

Ive never priced the MSD out but for the distributor, coil & box new its got to be at least 500 bucks Id say.

im running the module inside the distributor and so far so good.

i think buggyb runs one, he never gets on here, but he builds a lot of our motors and trannys.. i think he likes it.

hey jeff i do get on here some times and yes i do have a dis-ix i have ran all kinds of ignitions and compu-fire has been the best it buns great plugs look great much better throttle response.

Perfect. thats what I needed to hear was somebody who runs it & says it works well. Ill give it a shot. I can always change it if I have problems.

i do not run this ignition. i have run compu-fire pointless and hated it. it was the hardest starting pos ever. why run anything but a 009? they work great and they are simple as hell. simplisity is bliss with the VW's! Iwas told once that the best ignition is acually a factory unit. it is like a 009 but has 2 sets of points in it. my uncle runs one of these, he was offered any ignition at appletree at silverlakes for it! so why add bunches of wires and crap for a big red distributor cap and a neat looking coil when it really gets you nowere?

Ive got 2 of them.....for free. I actually prefer a 009 with points & a blue coil. I just figure Ill try it out.

_________________

because a hotter ign. will get you somewhere...my msd was a night and day difference no sure on the compu-fire tho. but im sure it will do good....simple as points- not even close, better then points- by far..run with it DbN an let us kno how it works out. i almost bought one before the msd so im just a lil curious

Im hoping for good results. It uses a 009 as a base. The rotor is replaced by a magnetic trigger that sends a signal to each of the four 60,000 volt coils. Rather than 1 coil cycling to provide all the spark you have 4. That should mean more voltage due to the load being divided by 4. A single coil drops output at high rpm because it cant keep up.

you will like it my engine runs a little cooler and you can retard timing a few degrees i think it is better than msd and you do not have all those wires and big box to keep dry
