Get a close up shot of where the distributor bolts into the block, that's one of the differences to spot! :wink:

It's a A+, you can tell from the position of the alternator mount points, and yes 1275 head and block ( two core plugs on the end )

What variety can only be determined by the engine number, check the FAQ'S for this.

As GW said. Also, may be a very eary A+ as it has a diaphragm clutch and not a Verto. But this may have been swapped out at a later date :nugget:
