BogMonster Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have a feeling the very early ones were one sort and nearly all the rest are the other sort but can't remember which is which. If you can provide VIN and engine numbers to your parts supplier they ought to be able to tell you from that I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
