[OT] 2.0 X-Flow Questions

[jasonfsnow at rcn.com (Jason F. Snow)]

Can I use the existing ignition (Jetronic) and electrical? I believe I can,
just for now.

Yep, you can do that. The block will need a blockoff plate for the breather
and you'll  need a drive gear and bushing to fit your smaller diameter
distributor into the ABA block. And, of course, you'll need a longer
downpipe or spacer since the block is taller. There are a couple other small
odds and ends, but that's about it. The rest is straight bolt up.

See some additional info here:

I personally think you can get away without a KS ignition if you don't
already have one as long as you're conservative in your ignition timing.
