Re: 16V heads



Well thank you once again for your 16V widsom Mr. Van 16Valvernbergerber....
:- )

As a follow up question for the group;

Is there any difference between the CIS-E 16V distributor and the Motronic
unit?

I scored a complete Motronic 16V setup yesterday and didn't think about the
dist till today.
