Hello,
I think that for most of you my question will seem very stupid but I'm new to the V6 world and as I live in Europe, I don't have the background that you have.
I have a V6 in my 78 Malibu wagon, on the tag, it says that it's a 200ci.
So I ordered some parts from Rockauto but some don't fit my engine...(air filter, water neck, water hoses,...).....is Rockauto wrong or is my engine wrong....
My V6 has the distributor on the front (radiator side ) like V8 Buicks.
My radiator neck is a metal one and said to be "Buick style" in the Haynes , and on the Rockauto website it is said to go on a 231ci (Buick engine I think) ! https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/morein ... cc=1054976
How can I recognise my engine ?
Is a 200ci similar to a 231ci Buick ?
I don't have pictures for instance but...
My engine looks like this one : except color, my distributor has no coil (HEI ?), and alternator is higher...
Which engine is it and with which engine are the parts similar ?
Thanks for your help !
David
