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
