I was speaking for those with Type 31 and 36, and specifically the models I have seen in the UK. I make no apologies for not covering Type 34, as they are not covered specifically in my Type 3 factory stuff, and so many things are odd about them only an owner would have much idea of how they differ. However, I suspect there is a good reason for them having those connectors or the Type 3 (31/36) Parts book wouldn't list two sorts, one for most models and the others for the M236 (FI) option. I don't think the extra suppression on the right-angle connectors is needed (apart from the special French market), just the short height. How much clearance is there to the engine cover in the Type 34? It's a totally different body shell so maybe there wasn't quite as much clearance available as there was in the Type 31/36 body shell, which meant they had to use the right-angle connectors even with the twin carb engines. Perhaps it was even the reason for axeing the Type 34 - not compatible with FI. Now there's a thought! Dave.
