[s14Leo]

A little new to the 240sx's and wanted to find out how you can tell if i have an s13 ka or an s14 ka. i drive an s14 but have been told that i have an s13 ka, and others tell me i have an s14ka, whats the fastest or easiest way to find out which of the two i have?

Do you have an external coil for distributor
Does the upper intake have butter fly valves
I believe the valve covers have minor differences in bolt locations

[NiSilS14]

aside from the visual differences, S14 KAs have a casting number of 70F on the head and 5C0 on the block. All s13s are a 53F casting number.

i have 3 bolts on the valve cover i believe that's for an s13

The s13 has the 3 bolts in the middle of the valve cover, (so to speak).
The s14 has 2, while the 3rd is on the back parimeter.
The s13 has an external coil


S14 valve cover for reference.
