Default Remund electronic ignition

Does anyone have the wiring diagram or instructions for one of these?

Does it look like this?

Remund electronic ignitions was absorbed by First Street Ignitions. When I talked to their tech staff, they advised wiring is the same for their current distributors. But please call to confirm - Phone 580-762-8322.

Is this what's called the Transistor-Reluctor system with the box that mounts on the firewall? If so, I've got the instructions, as well as an unused kit I'll sell cheap.

Guess I’ll have to call them . This is just the simple 6V pos grd electronic ignition. I think it’s just a halls effect. This was purchased in 97. Been running strong ever since.

I think the one that you have MIGHT be similar to this design.

When i worked at the VW Dealer in mid-60's some customers installed an ignition system with box on the "firewall". I think it was called CDI Capacitive Discharge Ignition. There was a red push button on side of box to change from CDI to standard system. The box had an anodized gold color heat sink on outside of case if I remember correctly.

It was a very early design which did NOT USE a magnetic pickup like the FSI system. Instead it still used the points to trigger the CDI circuit.

The idea was that the transistor circuit would lower the current through the points when the points opened, thus greatly reducing arcing and increasing point life.

My '69 and '73 VW type IIIs with stock ignition used standard points which were replaced every 3000 miles when oil change and valve adjustment was done. I never adjusted points once installed unlike with points installed in Model As today which require adjustment after a couple of hundred miles.

Someone must know how to to make a point rubbing block that lasts 3000 miles today.

I made this one out of some hard fibre I had, but it'll take some time before it gets to 3000 miles.

I gave up on my electronic ignition and went back to the stock points. Now my Model A runs better than ever. It's all Henry.
