I read somewhere only 3.3's had the PTC, but hey it seems there are exceptions sometimes, and anything may have been done in warranty scenarios... 1 SPArKy_Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,686 Posted May 27 Not sure if that should make a difference as I think they are virtually identical...mine goes quite well really...It may have had other problems I wasn't as good with carbs back then, as much as I thought I was at the time, but you can learn a little bit in 15 years, I do remember it making a huge difference to that car at the time, it made as much of an improvement as putting an efi cam in it and swapping the auto for a t5 1 Tazvan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
