There is a difference between the EFI and Carby flywheels.

nope. 1.6 carby and efi use the same clutch, and are the same flywheel.

there will be a small spacer from the old flex plate, make sure you remove it before fitting the flywheel.

Well joe
When I had mine out there is a small lip around where the crank bolts go through that the carby one didn't.
The 1.3 carbys were exactly the same. they have a early and late fly wheel.
