    SETA Question

    Quick question in there a way to find out by the block numbers or castings in it if the car is a SETA Block?

    I ask because i just bought a parts car and is a 1988 and has the i harness motronic and I crank refference sensor but the intake manifold has the cold start injector. Also th owner said the car reved to 6,500....??? It has an I cluster.. but the engine was from another 1988 car that was totalled...

    Should be able to tell by the intake manifold shape and/or if it has single valve springs.

      The Super Eta does run the i harness and Motronic system with a different ECU. It does not have a cold start injector though and uses the same ICV as an i car would use. The Super Eta engine uses an i valve cover with an Eta intake manifold.

      You can always get the VIN off the block and see what it comes back as...

          There is/was a VIN sticker down by where the distributor block off is in the block.
