I don't but you may be able to answer a question I've had - why do the same year 3S-GTE's in MR2T and Celica All-trac have diff Distributer caps? I'm not sure which is which but one has the little clips on the wires like the 5S and the other has a more conventional spark plug style connector. Can you shed some light on this for me?
I would guess an engineering decision.
The clips are the newer style IIRC, and they're more secure than just the push on type.
Toyota revised the Gen II 3SGTE halfway through it's run.
For the Celicas the revision came in 92 [pre revision is 90/91, post revision is 92/93].
Because the 3SGTE was originally a Celica engine, and it came out first with it [the MR2T didn't come out until 91] it got the revison first.
For the MR2T the revision came in 93 [pre is 91/92, post is 93-95 in the US and I believe only 93 for the rest of the world{everyone else got the Gen III in 94}].
The cable ends were only one of a bunch of changes, and just FYI the 5S was revised as well, and so was [some] of the rest of the chassis for both models.
