help with my addiction

Steve,  if the feed back from the list suggests that you need a 1.8l
distributor I have one that you can have for the price of shipping.  I
realize that it is to Canada and the shipping can pricy.  Another lister
in Canada may be able to help too! Finally, I would suggest sending you
a picture ahead of time to make sure it looks like your original. Rick
Kellner.

well guys im falling on my knees and begging for help or mercy from the
vw 
god or the scirocco gods. my 82 scirocco came to my with a puny(i think 
thats how you spell it)1.7. i decided after a year of driving it that
this 
just wouldn't do. it just so happens tha the gods favored the thought of
an 
engine swap as they brought my 2 more sciroccos. now before anybody
decides 
that i truly am the luckiest guy in the world, both were very, very
rotten. 
one although had a very low mileage 1.8l jh motor. i swapped it in and
sold 
the 9a tranny to help finance the swap and now its in and holy cow it
goes 
like hell compared to the 1.7.  now here is were it gets interesting and

also were my questions lie. i used the old fuel dizzy,lines,throttle 
body,and exhaust. i switched to the shrouded injectors as mine were
drippng 
when hot. the questions are what the hell is that little vacuum hose
from 
the back of the head at #4 cylinder do?
  my next question has a bit of a story too(sorry    really i am). i
used 
the 1.8 distributor until my stuppid canadian tire distributor cap
dropped 
the button and distroyed the distributor(fogot to put in the little
cover). 
no i have the 1.7 advance?retard distributor in there and have the
retard 
plugged. no the car is f!@#@# slower than ever before and sometimes
feels 
like it has a slight miss. the question here is do i put on the vacuum 
advance from the old 1.8 dis or do i get the whole 1.8 distibutor. also
i 
have noticed she almost stalls when i snap the throtle when hot it drops

bellow idle to almost stall.  oopps almost forgot i set the timing at 6 
degrees advanced.

sorry for the rambling and you folks truly are the best support group
for 
this lifestyle
