Waterproof cover for 4-cylinder ignition head and ignition coil.

Its main role is to protect the ignition head from moisture, dust, water splashes and impurities, which can compromise the proper operation of the ignition system.

By creating a watertight barrier, this cover prevents the risk of leakage currents,stray sparks or difficult starting, by maintaining a dry, clean environment around the igniter's electrical contacts.

In short, the watertight cover extends igniter life, improves engine reliability and guarantees optimal ignition whatever the external conditions.

BD Performance USA Magnaspark II high-performance ignition kit for VW Type 1 engines.

Includes ignition module, coil and wiring harness.

Consistent performance up to high revs: Guarantees a stable and powerful spark up to 10,000 rpm.

Improved combustion: Delivers higher voltage to the spark plugs, ensuring easier starting (both hot and cold) and a more responsive acceleration.

Customisable adjustment: The distributor comes with a set of interchangeable springs (light, medium, heavy) and guide rings (15°, 19°, 22°, 25°). This allows the centrifugal advance curve to be precisely adjusted to the exact configuration of the engine (standard or tuned).

Elimination of mechanical wear: There is no longer any need to adjust or replace the plate screws and capacitor.

Integrated magnetic sensor: Unaffected by moisture, dust or oil splashes.

It is the ideal choice both for improving the reliability of a standard engine and for unlocking the potential of a tuned engine. You benefit from improved driving comfort, smoother idling and easier maintenance.
