Attached is a pic of a 75 engine bay.

Q1 2.5 or 3 litre?
Q2 L-Jetronic or Motronic?

How are they distinguished?

Thanks,
Peter.

I think that's a Motronic.  The plug on the AFM looks narrower than the L-Jet cars and there's a wiring connector tied up with the sparkplug wires on the top of the cambelt cover for the crank angle sensor.

I have attached another pic which hopefully might help confirm from visual identification?
I assumed that the casings of the ECUs would be different and therefore the identification easy - but not so it seems.

Otherwise, how can you tell definitively?
Sounds like the lid (black cap?) might need to come off - but what do we look for then?

Has anyone got a pic of a Motronic unit?

Peter.

PS The greenish tinge is NOT biological - its a feature of the graphics compression technology!

The extra connector on the cambelt cover I'm talking about is for the crank angle sensor, this reads a toothed wheel on the back of the crank pulley.  The L-jet cars don't have this.

This is a 3 litre Motronic
The 3 litre Motronic has a crank angle sensor and no wires going to the distributor  :)

Wasn't the motronic only fitted to the Potenziatas? Normal 75 3.0L V6's still ran L jetronic?

Alfa ACT, is your 75 a Potenziata?
Does it have black seats or grey?
Certainly looks like a Potenziata engine bay to me  :)

I have a Potenziata, no return spring on the throttle body, maybe someone added it from a GTV6  :)
