    Default Which do i have 13 or 14sr engine?

    Hi everybody i'm new to novaload and i have a problem. I picked up rotten 1.2nova diamond for cheap with GTE interoir,sr rims,skirts electric windows and a carb engine. The engine had twin downpipes so 1st i was thinking it's not a 1.2 and the man thought it had a 13sr engine fitted but wasn't sure, i've the engine out and can't find eng. code and the size has been grinded of the block probably because the engine was never declaired. Is there any way of finding out which it is?
    Also I'm putting the engine into my 1.2spi, were does the black/yellow wire for the automatic choke go?

    Look on the front of the head, it will have 13(1300cc) or 14(1400cc) stamped in it.
    If no ones fitted a 1300 head on a 1400 block, it will be a 1300 if it has 13 stamped on the head.

    Find the part number on inlet manifold.
    I've got both 1300 and 1400 inlet manifolds, so could compare the numbers on mine with the ones on yours.
    The number is cast into one of the branches of the inlet. Begins with a 90 iirc.

    Does this match any of the numbers on your manifolds?

    1300Sr inlet that is.

    So assuming no ones swapped the head or anything, its a 1300.
