It should work. Because all the na distributor needs is a switched 12v+ and the rest is taken care of by the dist and the module on the side of it. Mikes z shop said to just leave it be on the vacuum

The n/a distributor works fine on the turbo motor. It doesn't use any of harness from the car, just needs a switched power and then the two wires to the coil. Easy. The ignitor is built into the dist and runs off of the distributor spinning. I did this because it's what Mikes Z shop in Whittier CA suggested me to do. He said the turbo distributors often have problems because of the CAS so swapping in the n/a dist works better.

 

Got the car running. The timing was way off and kragen sold me the wrong dist cap :/ .................…and my plugs needed replacing

Alright cool. No worries then. thanks! looks like everythings working on my swap, fuel and spark, except the car desnt start switched to a 79-83 non-turbo distributor cause mine wasnt workin right so i dont use plug 2 or 3. and the previus owner installed an electric fuel pump already. i dont know any info on the pump thats in it though :/

Hey thanks for the reply bumble zee!

 

I'm using an 81 harness just like the thread has. Going from the igniter it goes to plug 2, I've got that. Im just not sure what plug 3 is from looking at the pics on the first page. Plug 3 is a five prong plug. The picture makes it look a lot like the fuel pump relay plug
