88 -2.2 WBX is Running great now. 
New Hall Sensor  installed (internal black wire was worn)
New Hall sensor plug ( cover was broken open and dirty) 
New ignition switch ( really worn out after inspection)
Ignition timed at 35 degrees at 3000 rpm GOWESTY specs  
Remaining questions that I can't find an answer for is:

1)While driving the 88' I come to a stop, foot off accelerator quickly, engine wants to stall (which happened several times yesterday during my test drive) then It idles at 900 Rpm. This is new for this engine.
2) behind the distributor there is a brown wire that goes straight down into this dark area of the engine. Must be where the VW gremlins live. The wire seems to be brittle and I wanted to change it but I can't find what it goes to. Checked my Bentley but no info there.
Tomorrow will work on changing the front heater valve with the new expensive GOWESTY heater valve.
