S5 Carb Conversion HELP!!!!!
Yeah, I know a lot of you are gonna ask me what the hell I was thinking, but there's a reason why I did the carb conversion, and it wasnt just for performance, it was because I couldn't get the MOP to fit with the '87 water neck and the stupid ECU kept going into limp mode so I figured "what the hell, i might as well do away with the whole EFI". I didn't know what I got myself into. Right now I'm running a Holley 4-bbl, RB manifold, carter fuel pump, and holley FPR. I was wondering what kind of distributor I need (I know from a first gen, but does it matter if its from a 12A or 13B?) and how to run the wiring to the distributor and coil since Im not using an ECU anymore. Thanks guys...

Hey. A 12a one will work just fine. A 13B one would be nice to have but they dont make much if any difference. Ive used both and didnt notice anything
The Dizzy wiring is really easy. basically id go out and buy 2 MSD Blaster 2 coils. now hat youve got to think about is the ignitors mainly just ground out the coils. So you need to run 4 positive leads. One for each coil, and one for eafch ignitor. Now connect the negative terminal of the coil to the negative terminal of the ignitor. Hook up the plug wires and your done!
