- Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.

Some do. 6 parts fit every engine; the other 15 are engine-specific. Each row (and the filter at the top) shows which. If you're unsure which engine you have, check the emissions label under the hood or the 8th character of your VIN.

What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace plugs and wires (or coil boots) as a set — one weak cylinder makes the whole set feel bad.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1964 Elva Courier was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1964 Elva Courier?
