count all the other parts.

Mark. I'll definately keep the points and conedsor, just in case. The funny
thing I have noticed about these buses or probably any old car is how many
parts you accumulate. When I first went to VW shows I was impressed by how
many spare parts people have. I am now begining this same build to critical
mas. I am sure in about 3 years or less I will have a parts war chest.

Since you are putting one in, my only advice is that you carry a spare set
of points and a spare condensor, because if that module goes out you're
screwed.
If you have spare parts you can just throw them in and be gone down the road.
