Subject:2 liter saga with fi continued

Volks,
Today brought mixed results.

Replaced fuel injector seals.   They were shot.  Ordered new distributor
clamp from the dealer..........Will see if that helps keep the high end
timing stabilized.

When you put the timing light to set the total advance at say 3000 rpms, my
timing mark is jumping from 42 within 6+/-.  Does not hold steady.  New
points and condenser.........worn distributor sound right?  Does anyone make
a new vacuum advance dizzy for the 2 liter besides the dealer?  Or would the
050 be in the ballpark?

Discovered the Clymer manual for the air cooled vanagons is great for
troubleshooting the FI.  I will delve into that tomorrow.

I currently have a $20 voltmeter, and need to upgrade to be able to handle
any of the tests I am about to perform.  Any recommendations on a model
(under $100)?
