RC engineering sold a base to use aircooled VW stuff. Kit came with a distributer, but most pulled them and installed magnetos.

Distributor is not a "wasted spark" and should make adjustments easier.
No real advantage over a modern electronic ignition or a really well dialed in stock set up.
While I HATE mods that just look cool, I cant help but love this set up. No downside, and cool looks.
