post 86/87 8v = digifant. (Electronic )
pre 86 8v/16v = K-Jet (mechanical)

HI YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOUT!!

91 8v most likely a digi (code PB)

the pre-90 spec would be a k-jet

best way is to look at the airbox, if it has a load of metal pipes n gubbins on it, you've got a k-jet.  If its plain with a single electrical plug on the side, its a digifant.  (Just in case its had an engine conversion)

As slick said.

It has NOTHING to do with "90 spec" there were Digifant small bumper cars. trust me, I've broken one.
