I need a ignition distributor
« on: March 08, 2010, 01:56:35 PM »
for a later MkI 8v. with the rectangular connector. Came on my 87 Scirocco, not sure how early they came in rectangular connectors. But I need the car running by this weekend. Parts stores won't have one in for a week. I can try rockauto, but I'm not sure how long it would take for it to get here.

none in the junkyard?

IIRC, my '81 came with the "oval" plug hall sender... I swapped to an the ignition out of a '82 a few years back and it had the "square" plug... but that doesn't mean that the PO of the '82 didn't swap to the ignition out of a later model, or that my '81 didn't have the ignition out of an earlier model LOL

4 cylinder engines... 1.6L, 1.7L, 1.8L... VW or Audi, starting around 1982 through to about 1986 (they will still have the vacuum canister on some models) :t-up:

oh, and if you just need to get the engine running... you can use a digifant distributor.  The only thing is, there is no mechanical advance on post 86ish distributors
