For those of you who have done the A3 ABA short block swap (into an A2 with the non-crossflow head), I've got a quick question. What's the "best" distributor setup? I have three distributors at my disposal: one from an old '80 Rabbit, one from an A3 2.0L, and one from my 1.8L RD (currently in use).
I've ordered the adapter ring from Velocity (only $15) and have pressed the A3 dist. gear from the shaft. I was planning to install the A3 gear on the RD distributor, but would like to hear what others have done before I proceed. Can I use the trigger wheel from the '80 distributor and swap it with the single window A3 wheel? In other words, is the '80 trigger wheel a 4-window design? I'd really like to leave my RD distributor alone if I can--it was replaced a year ago and was not cheap.
