Michael,

I feel your pain. I replaced the points on my VW with a pertonix about
5 years ago and have not had to adjust the dwell once since. I have
checked the dwell about 2x a year, and it has never needed adjusting.

The pertronix costs about $50, but in my opinion it is well worth the
$$. It was one of those things that I wondered why I did not do it
years earlier.

And yeah - I too used to adjust points on GM cars with hex keys while
the engine was running. Remember the "Uniset" Delco points w/ integral
condenser vs. the 2 piece points/condeners? It's a pity VW did not use
a similar set-up.
