    Summer ruined due to death rattle. What have I done wrong?

    As the title says really. I bought a brand new engine from VW Heritage a couple of months ago, and have been running around locally trying to break it in before heading to newquay in a couple of weeks.

    I've just put the new engine in my van (1641 with 009 distributor, twin empi 34s and twin quiet pack exhaust) and was hoping to get it set up on a rolling road. Is it worth fitting an electronic ignition and an uprated coil? What make do you reccommend? I have read some bad reports about...
