Hi list,
I tried firing up my ABA/JH swap in my 82, and got nothing... A test
for spark indicated no spark. The first thing I looked at was the
connector at the distributor - I remembed it not really seating well,
and sure enough the connector wasn't sitting deep enough in the
receptacle to make contact.
The distributor is one I bought from Techtonics that's the right one
for an ABA swap into a CIS car. I used it a few years back on my 81
w/ the same swap, but don't recall running into this particular
problem (I might have, but my memory sucks)... The distributor's
receptacle has two raised lines on the front:

The connector on the 82 has a raised line on both front and rear:

Anyone happen to know what car I could pillage the top connector from
at the wreckers?
Thanks,
