TP not TI.
Twin port. Standard kombi engine...
Just the air-cleaner has been changed from the horrible massive old oil bath jobbies

it looks like a twin port but hard to tell for this angle what do the manifold ends look like? if they are are a narrow and one pipe its a single but
if its got a notch in the middle it a twin.

Single port manifolds look considerably different. They are twin port manifolds .

yep looks like a twin port. from what I know single ports had a one piece manifold rather than end castings and rubber bits.

Aftermarket Bosch ignition coil

If it's the original engine for the vehicle it's a 1600 twin port.Must be a late model because it has a booster for the brakes.Put some caps over
those fresh air outlets on your fan housing-you will need all that wasted air when the weather warms up.

Not sure what you mean about that, sorry. Borrowed a digi cam so got a couple of other pics. Runs a real treat. Starts no worries even though it has
not had much attention at all for about a month (unfortunately).
Cheers

Has an alternator and an oil temp sender. What's the vacuum hose coming out of the manifolds for?
