Ok, Lets review: You want to install just how much of the 16v? Grafting
a high compression motor into a loom without a K/S? (That's me) The
whole CIS-e loom & engine controls? (That's not what I did).

If you look at the links I have and the thread it's about adapting a low
compression car to a block with 10:1 & a knock sensor.

The distributor changes because timing advance is no longer directly
controlled by the vacuum but by the K/S box.

In my 81 I am using the same electrical ignition control unit,
intake/exhaust manifolds & from the donor the K/S box, Long Block, and
Distributor.
