what kind of red top are you trying to run? Big or small port?

Either way, both will work, just use the blue top dizzy and ignitor + coil.

in my experience the plugs are different for the injectors between the bluetop and redtop, bluetop has those nice wire clips round the plug whereas the redtop has the plug-in type. Use the bluetop coil igniter too as redtop have totally different setup on them

you'll need bluetop injectors too won't you? because the plugs are different from the redtops...basically any of the redtop sensors which don't plug in to the bluetop loom, you'll need to swap for bluetop sensors...you could get away with just swapping loom plugs for some sensors though.

hope that makes sense. :lol:
