are all the plugs the same for the harness?

also where do i find the vacuum tanks/ solenoids, also what else should i grab ( ignitor, ect)

(im also thinking about just grabbing the block (no manifolds, all wiring, no trans,) im pretty sure i could use the plugs, and the block would be nice for a spare, maybe a high horse power CA?

anyway, ya, what else should i grab?

Injector dropping resistor is on the firewall in the middle, vacuum tank is on a bracket shared with the charcoal canister near the driver side firewall, solenoids/check valves are under the air box (there are many, get them all), ignitor is toward the driver side end of the block. Try and save as many plug pairs as possible when cutting the solenoids out....so cut back aways behind the plug junction.

Other things I'd grab would be the ECU and all the OEM vacuum line couplers and tees you can find. The plastic couplers come in handy when routing lines and making it nice and neat, the tees come in handy also when trying to save money.

Not trying to hi-jack but i just found a Pulsar w/ a CA16DE in the junkyard and want to know what i can take and use off it. I know the cams are a good find along with as much electronics as possible. What about the head and block? I know the 1.6L has a smaller bore but same stroke. What do you think?
