7AFE issues!!!

[[TWZTID]]

Ok, so I have a 1996 Caldina with a 7afe(2WD). Unlike what it says in the 'sticky' to the site that has info on toyota engines, mine is a single cam engine, twin electric? distributers & a long J shapped throttle bottle if you look at it from side on.
My mate pulls up in a 1997 Carib 4WD with a 7afe, 'normal' looking distributer, & a roughly looking 4age throttle bodie (I saw it outside with not much light). Mine red lines at 6, his a little after 6. The power/speed felt kinda the same. Why are they different?

Dude, if it is a 7AFE then it is a twin cam, the engines could be different for alot of reasons. As you have stated, different year or maybe assembled in a different country, could be because it is 4WD.

4WD would explain his, makes sense.
When I sober up some more I'll go & get my car & find that 2nd cam

maybe your confused with the single pulley twin cam head used on those narrow angle fe heads??

also 7afes come with dizzy OR muti coil set up...

so they are different because they are different
