Thank you. I will get it back on the road. Will have a lot of new parts on  it

Oh yes. I forgot that I had posted this with pictures to another forum. My  
car has the incorrect rotor that was installed by the PO. Car was serviced at s 
 place that works on a lot of older Audis so when I got the car and it had a 
new  dist cap and wires I assumed the rotor was good. Actually had forgotten 
about  the narrow rotor until reading the recent posts here about it. The 
incorrect  rotor has a contact that is almost twice as wide as the narrow one. 
 
  Here is picture of the correct 3b rotor
