If the injectors screw directly into the head then its the older Bosch K-Jet (CIS) fuel injection. If the injectors screw into the manifold then its the newer LH injection. I wouldn't make a purchase decision based only on that point. Most of the K-Jet cars had the chrysler ignition, which I have heard can be problematic. I drove an 82 from 184k to 292k. I never had any problems with the car that I could attribute to the ignition. It still ran like a top when I donated it. It was rusted out and needed a clutch so I donated it on December 31st, 2001. I did have to replace the control unit, which I had no problem finding and only cost me $50.
