7zap has been pretty good in terms of part numbers.

There is a specific bolt and washer for the CY engine listed and I have no clue if thats whats in the car now.  I doubt it.  There are a few specific pulley pieces based upon the engine code and if it has power steering (mine does).  Oddly enough there is a different water pump pulley listed (on a different diagram), which I believe I do have.

This thing is wild.  I'm thankful to have a vw diesel guy here that helps with that sort of stuff, but since this is such an odd car its been fun.

i do pretty much the same thing as fatmobile except i let it on the ground, and just push the car back or pull it forward to set the crank position.

on the tach, if you can find a the same cluster you have but with a tachometer for a gas engine then you can run a dakota digital converter.

I think with the engine being longitudinal helps me a bit.  Whenever I mess with timing on the 5cyl cars its very easy since the flywheel is easy to see while still moving the crank a bit from the front.  I always joke with my VW friends about how the older Audi engines are in the engine bay the "right" way

But Why?  and that isn't stock, so I don't like to do that.  I prefer the long way around and convert the tach to use the alt wire which makes it difficult to do.  That is just me.
