Great
I use this brand ALL the time. I pair it with the pertronix 1847a points conversion and it’s rock solid!

Working great for months
I waited to give a review. It's been months now and it's kinda unbelievable how good this distributor is for the price. If you have any doubts just buy it, it works great I promise you. It looks like a $100 distributor in quality

It worked just fine
I bought this for my brother's Baja bug it started having misfires with his old distributor. Installed this with a fresh coil then set the full advance timing to 30deg without any problems the bug is running smoother than it ever has.

Poor quality control, very disappointed. You get what you pay for
I'm giving this distributor 0 stars. 2x they sent me one with the bottom of the distributor shaft so loose that I dare not even install with fear of ruining engine because of extremely poor quality control. As you know the bottom of the distributor must be tight in order for a vw engine to perform properly and not knock the timing out of skew
