well there's your problem - no they are not the same. The pinto EFI system uses the spark timing as a datum point to time the injectors. Without the correct dizzy nothing works.

You should be ok with the carb manifold gasket on the injection head, but you may find it doesn't last long before it leaks at the top. (the reason the ports are egg shaped on the injection head is so the injectors can fire cleanly into the ports) If it does go fairly soo, fit 2 instaed, the extra thickness will give you a longer life.

Strictly speaking the Pinto EFi distributor is not really a distributor at all, its a crank sensor or at least thats its main function. Apart from its solid shaft and the rotor arm theres nothing else in it that moves. It sends a signal to the ECU which then uses clever logarythms to work out engine speed and tdc references for both ign and fuel. The ECU fires the coil and the cap and rotor arm supply the spark in the traditional way. Cant remember on these whether they are banked or parallel injection. (banked = pairs of injectors fire at the same time or parallel = all together).

If you have been trying to run EFi without the EFi dizzy then that would explain why it no go though I'm surprized you could wire it all up

1.6 or 1.8 breakerless or points will work with the carb set up you have. I've not had gasket problems though I've used the earlier manifold and 38 dgas carb.

A 1.8 Dizzy should have had ESC2 with just a pickup and HT distribution. May even be the same Part number as the 2.0EFi dizzy, I can check later.

dizzys for pinto sierra are

1.3
1.6
1.8 & 2.0
2.0 EFI


The 2.0 EFI has the TFI module bolted to the side ( although I am sure I have seen a picture of a remote TFI on a 2.0 pinto ?? )

Yup. Mine was bolted to the off side inner wing. Not to the dizzy.
As I said earlier, to me the 1800 and 2.0 dizzy looked identical.
Inside and out...

Not a great pic, but it's just below the headertank outlet
So you can imagine the length of the original wires I was dealing with...
