1979-1993 & 94 Conv [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
The following post has information about getting a crank position sensor, though it is not fully plug and play:

If you want to cnvert to a distributor, there's not really a parts list: you need the distributor wiring pigtail from a donor car, and obviously a distributor. Any 16v distributor will work, but there are some caveats.
If you use a turbo distributor, leave the vacuum capsule on it - the capsule keeps the hall sensor fixed in place inside the distributor and it won't work without the capsle installed.
do not attach a vacuum hose to the capsule as would be done on a turbo - adding vacuum will mechanically advance timing while the EZK is already trying to do the same thing.
LH2.4 cars (88-93 turbos and 88-90 16v NA) have a distributor with a slightly stronger plug than LH2.2, but both versions the plugs are fragile.
A wirign pigtail from an LH2.2 car won't work with an LH2.4 distributor, as 2.2 plug/connector are oval, 2.4 are square.
When buying a used distributor be sure that the plug is not broken or about to break, but that said if it is still intact but loose you can epoxy it in place. I don't think rebuild kits are available anymore - they used to have a new plug.
And an internal seal that goes bad and leaks oil into the cap. You can get a comparable seal but would need to do some research. my memory isn't good but I think there's a VW Corrado or Scirroco distributor with a similar seal, and a Honda motorcycle, but the seal in that case isn't for a distirbutor, it's just that it's basically the same size.
there is an external seal that fits on the snout of the distributor, and it is still available. i would put a new one on if doing the converstion.
1985 turbo was a one year only distributor and functions the same as others but has larger diameter shaft than later years and so needs a different roter. no idea if the rotor is hard to find but would not be surprised if parts suppliers are too lazy and say the 86-93 rotor fits 85. 85 turbo distributor is a fairly rare part at this point, not likely to be found. just lettng you know.
