I am trying to avoid finding out myself...would a Distributor from a 1986 ea82 turbo work in a car with a carburetor..the 2 extra wires going to the knock sensor obviously can't be connected..if just hooking up the 2 other wires to the coil,.. would it then work...the dist. is near new with no play in the shaft and I would hate to just throw it away if it was not suitable for the carb

It should work. But it's kinduv a waste when standard carb distys are pretty commonly available and those turbo distys are hard to find.
