Yeah the CIS-E dist has a hall sender, is this for an 8V or 16V?

CIS vs. CIS-E distributors
I have a doner car to pull the CIS-E injection and ignition stuff out of but no distributor. Is it different than the regular CIS dist. or can I just use mine?

You need the CIS-E dist. with the Hall Sender unit in it.

cis has a hall sender too. I was under the impression that the cis-e didnt have vacuum advance cansiter on it? Or is that on digi's? Im sleepy

OK thanks you guys, now I'm more confused than before! I think the hall sensor is the trigger so they both should have them right? Also, doesn't the CIS dist. have vacume AND mechanical advance?

Re: CIS vs. CIS-E distributors (phrankentruk)
The CIS-e has an ignition system that changes the timing advance with the knock box. The CIS system changes the timing advance with the dist. The CIS-e dist. does not change the timing mark at all and the CIS does. If you installed a CIS dist in a knock system [if it ran] then the timing would be changed by the dist and the knock box. If the dist changed it 25 degrees and the knock box changed it another 25 degrees then that is way too much. Some how [if the dist would work with the CIS-e ign. system] the CIS dist would have to loose the timing advance curve set up and the vacuum advance too.

Yes but if the CIS dist. wires up, and if it only has vacume advance, and if you disconnect the vacume line, then it works.
