Well Potterman sold me!  I actually ordered one today.  He has it on
special right now, so stop by www.parts4vws.com :)

Here's my questions and Mike's response:

"Nope just knowing how to set the timing is about all you need to 
know."

"It's good fo low end HP & torque....it also will keep the top end from 
falling off because of the short advance curve."...... "It will defintetly
improve your revvability & all around torque."
- ------------------

I won't be able to give any direct feedback on the euro dist. because I'm
doing several things at the same time.  Kinda disappointing because I'd
love to feel the result of each change (downpipe, cam, etc..), but it will
be nice to be done with it!     Another way to look at it is that your
going to spend $15 (?) on a rotor and cap, so for a little more you get a
new distributor!  (like how I convinced myself that I NEEDED it? <g>)


Any other input? Advice on timing?


Greg.... awaiting UPS once again!
