None of that lot on fleabay USA will work for yours, it's all for the B230F/FT, both of which have Bosch LH-Jetronic EFi, not mechanical continuous (Kontinuerlich i think is the German word for continual/continuous, hence "K"-Jetronic for yours) injection.
It would explain why Andrew said he was having trouble finding the K-Jet bits for his!

Probably someone managed to find those bits and fitted them to yours hoping they could find the other bits needed and failed.
Yeah, that would make sense. I don’t think there could have been many K-jet cars with the cruise control? It would explain why it’s only half done in mine.
It’s never worked since I’ve had the car, and if the bits are almost non existent now it’s likely never worked.

I’m yet to see it fitted on another K-jet car though??
My old K-jet saloon (also a 740, 1987my) had air con, which I gather isn’t very common on 4 cylinder models either in the U.K.
