advance
I Used the 1.8L distro and plugged the advance on it.

=>Cam was set @ stock setting....yes the 1.6 fuel distributor was used.
=>The shop didn't think (although they did not know for certian) if the
=>1.6 distributor was different from the 1.8.  One of the techs visually
=>compared the two....but that was it and the 1.6 distributor was re-used.
=>
=>Are the distributors different from the 1.6 to the 1.8??
