91 Turbo Engine into my 81 262 700

I will be performing this swap over the summer, and had some questions about the ignition system. For one, I will change the distributor from cam drive to block drive. That is one area where I could use some information...anyone have any links detailing the process?

Also, I want to use the lightweight aluminum flywheel that I have in the car now, (M46) and believe that the ignition system relies on a flywheel sensor. How would I go about using the new flywheel? Do I have to get an MSD Crank-fire ignition? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help.

    To mount the distributor in the block, you must change the intermediate shaft with a machined distributor gear. The 86-88 240 distributors have the same hall sensor plug as the 740's.
