Mostly found on the 93-94 models, the side mount distributor has the benefit of having a cap and rotor set that costs about 1/3 as much as the rear-mount distributor. Benefits extend to not having to re-seal the distributor shaft and base, but aside from that, the differences are few. There is no performance difference. Obviously the side mount distributors have the 240-type plug in the back of the head rather than the 740 type distributor.

Rex I systems have both side and rear mount distributors. I Don't know about Bosch ignition systems.
