Ok here goes...I know all the downfalls of using carbs over perfectly good injection but for this application it has to be carbs - apologies for that.

So my question is, i need to ditch all the motronic and get and fit a distributor. I have searched and found the following statement, can anyone verify that the following is indeed correct.

" E21 and Early E30 had regular distributors newer ones had motronic distributors on the front of the engine but kept the original distributor shaft on the block so you can put the regular distributor there! (That's what I did) Just take off the cap, put in the distributor."

Thanks
