running carbs?

iv just got a 1.8 16v engine to pop in place of my 1.3. im planning on using a set of carbs on it but i dont know what i will need to find to get the ignition up and running. i dont have a distributer yet either.

at the moment my 1.3 is using the hall sender type ignition used in the carbed 1.3 polo if any of that is usable?

thanks.matt
