Chrysler/Bosch 200 1983

I'm attempting to rescue an 83 244 GL, (AT) from mothballs. It has been sitting for 6-8 months with a motor that ran, (I never heard it) but was knocking. Before I was involved, a second motor from a wagon (manual, year unknown) was acquired which ran well. The ONLY difference between the motors that I could tell was the distributor. The sedan had a round plug to the distributor that Bently labels as "Chrysler", while the wagon had the rectangular "Bosch" type.

Now, the wagon motor did not have the rotor cap on it when it arrived, so I don't know if it what "white". But the rotor cap from the sedan (blue! go figure) fit both distributors.

After swapping the motor we replaced the Bosch type distributor with the one that came with the sedan with the idea that if the spark control was different, we'd want to have the same distributor with its respective computer.

Can anyone think of a reason why the new motor would not work with the round-plug type distributor vs. the rectangular type? I am getting spark and fuel, but timing is still a potential issue. I'm getting worried about the two different distributors now...
