My Islero S has those carbs, but of course the twin distributors - thank goodness, given the price on caps etc. for the single! I"ve also found that cars with an original 8000RPM tach are low compression engines, and cars with the 10000RPM tach are the higher compression engines with a 7500RPM redline. Apparently all Isleros have the original distributor with a 6500 limit on an 8000 face. They may have ordered a couple of hundred or something, and didn"t bother changing them when they switched to S tune. Does anyone out there have an S with a 10,000 rpm tach that they think is original? Bill
