This high-quality external capacitor is designed specifically for late 1960s Volkswagens. Its primary role is to prevent electrical arcing across the ignition points as they open, which preserves the contact surfaces and ensures the ignition coil can collapse its magnetic field efficiently. This results in a hotter, more consistent spark and a much longer service life for your points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e02-069\u003c\/b\u003e features the classic Bosch side-mount design, securing directly to the distributor body.
