Hi, everyone, Given that I have recently encountered poor running problems with my GL 1043 CC motor. I suspected the distributor to be the source of the trouble. Due to oil from the engine getting onto my points. Given that the vertical movement of the shaft was evident. I was fortunate to obtain another points Bosch distributor with the same drive tangs. However when I tried fitting it to the car, poor running problems persisted. On closer inspection I discovered given it fell off, the low tension terminal to the broke off the wire, at the distributor connection. I have made up a new wire with soldered connectors as opposed to suaged. I feel this will cure my poor running. But given I have longed to have an electronic ignition system on my car. But discovered that later electronic distributors have a single post to engage in a hole in the end of the camshaft. I am wondering if it would be possible for me to obtain an electronic distributor, remove the drive peg from the shaft and replace it with the double tang type so that it would engage the slot in my camshaft. Assuming this would work? What else would I require. An electronic type ignition coil, and an ignition amplifier Wired into my ignition switch? I welcome any suggestions. 

have you seen the kits on ebay ?  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192212426379?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2cc0c0de8b:g:GOUAAOSwNRdX3QrH&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACoPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsSd3M8ngECaRA0SmyU4KT%2FnkdPkosoH7eF5LoHQWfKVhjL0KTeIYc00DQFR4eKZWRZjFlMU9mE6zNveupZB4O8gaF%2FAC0JR0X3D6nMrfeciBER4JfKe%2Blu%2BFXyV9JoU6MQ6KqKA%2FBVsnCXhoROubnoz%2FlEfNBv0Qcr6PX1c7c0k1pGm8PFR2%2Fb2KtG1Qf9DFtrY1V5nlKhrwFIXb1u%2FX5QRV33ZH0q%2BTGltKNw3BB6Sgt643%2FLuOZ9X0ahg5nMVZah1qkUD8V5zBcUjVoBvZ9qbvsJJa60GOXGA3tMktZDUZzGfnxusK3Q0YzIHnBRApnw4oDqtjKU51DVcvTngwqQNSpI1JSMO2FiA4MSSkiEFW%2FIT4AxUhwoAvsL5OzU2dCaGzPZC6zhr%2FipK526cb18IuITEJcHBe2KgBi0eY5lWB3BKkAlXS7GeaZEg%2FqKHIRUs3jOHexVR%2FaLAycgtQtoItkHxGu56RMVuMyjiZ%2BqPln97PfX9TqeML0eVwHRdalOe%2Bu83dSyPnHAOmj4iBwFjYPok82SV74fJOpA%2Fmoad%2FA1IC1BjZoJljJTPl9jTlm6orVpN3ibnMgxSaaGLXYmMrq6V7oDCsHd2AfzZoNwZsFsAaCCpA802dSm4V07MTs%2BWNhyhvIgbQTrJQhVOiLTwOpzU%2BLLlMNpUY4Pk099Klp5tzKJ4TX0LgaEIx2Sj7wMnoCV0bGOFlP0bnqiwBP6Jrr8vi4xon1mhf5o8OnAhRGKoS9IXwAOOmH8LtHSJ7mVTEFctOMXkfbBpHFNuM8%2FdhriJC6sCAx3L%2B5xPsgVRyoeheG2HMt%2Fhj2uDv7TBpaG07K11Xr7Jz2cfA8XGx%2BU3g%3D%3D|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBMwsKHiJxf

Golf KR distributor fits Slot camshaft and has a Hall sender

eg

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183383418673

 

but also need ignition amp (eg 191905351A) and matching loom and plug for amp and Bosch/junior timer? style 3 pin connector for the Hall sender from 1987ish VW, and maybe a 3ohm primary coil.

 

An Accuspark unit would be simpler, cheaper and neater.

Thanks for the information,I've looked at the item on eBay but then it states that it doesn't got my car. I have my car details on eBay for spares emails. I wonder if it is eBay that don't realise I could make it fit? By adding on the other components, to make it electronic ignition.
