1983 Turbo Dist. to 1981 Turbo

A Happy New Year to all. I have a question for the experts here. I am planning on switching the Distributor from an '83 Turbo to an '81 Turbo. I know their is a Post on ZDriver about doing this but will the '81 Turbo ECU recognise the '83 Turbo Distributor. Thanks.

Yes indeed.

Both output the same signal, but the advantage to the 82-83T optical CAS is ease of changing the encoder disc for various EFI setups, and ease of timing adjustment.
