According to that web page:

10E = Federal 5-speed
11E = Federal automatic
12E = California 5-speed
13E = California automatic
  (the above agrees with TRF's data)
14E = fuel-injected 5-speed
15E = fuel-injected automatic

This doesn't seem to make sense... since all California models were
fuel-injected. Unless the first two are federal carb-ed cars, and the
last two are for federal fuel-injected cars, then that would mean both
of my engines are '81 models?


Thanks for the link... even more data than Rimmer Bros' book!
