B30-E & F: Specific Differences??? 140-160 72-75

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Fri Nov 30 04:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Greetings All!!!

I want to double-check my understanding of the variations

between the B30-E and F engines. All my 164 experience is with

carbs. I'm discussing U.S.-market vehicles only.

A) The engine offered in 72 & 73, equipped with D-Jetronic

fuel-injection and points-ignition, was termed a B30-F. It was

built to English/Standard dimensions entirely.

B) In 74 (still with injection and still termed B30-F), it

acquired many internal metric-dimension parts, i.e. can't swap rods

with earlier blocks.

C) In 75, electronic-ignition was added to the injection, and

the whole was termed B30-E.

D) Regardless of engine, the car itself was always labelled

as 164E.

E) In 76, the U.S. 164's vanished, and a Great Darkness came

over the land . . .

Please correct if I'm in error anywhere.
