Subject:Re: Visual Difference(s) between 1.9L & 2.1L Distributors?

The distributors are unique to the fuel injection system/year of vehicle. Not the engine if doing a swap. The 1.9 distributor for the Digifant has both a vacuum and mechanical advance mechanisms. The 2.1 Digijet is fixed as the timing advance is controlled in the ECU.

Greetings:
What are the visual clues that make it easy to differentiate between 1.9 & 2.1L distributors, when they are not installed?  Thanks.
