Sorry for jumping to conclusions, Austin. In
foreign-car circles, Bosch electrics are
generally viewed as junk until production shifted
to Mexico in the early 1960's. Maybe Mercedes
got prime gear. The electrics are the huge
problem with early VW's. Unreliable as hell. I
still carry a full set of tools in my Audi: had
to help a guy get a '59 Bus started a month back. Junk electrics.
