Need some help with a cis 8v
David,
You need to look again at your own quote..
There is a FPR, CPR, (DPR on CIS-E), and an accumulator in the cars.
In the early CIS car the FPR is actually BUILT INTO the fuel distributor
at the OUTPUT port of the fuel distributor. so it kind of goes like this
fuel tank (xfer pump some cars) fuel pump --> accumulator --> CIS
dist(including CPR) --> Fuel Pressure Regulator --> fuel tank.
dont believe me belive your own quote...
Notice the BOSCH book lists it in just that order too...
In the later model cars the FPR is actually mounted on the outside of the
CIS-E distributor.
