			A 79 should have CIS, unless a previous owner did an engine swap. There are lots of ways to distinguish the two systems. Maybe the easiest visual is the location of the air filter. CIS = large rectangular filter on top of the motor in the center. Motronic = slightly smaller square filter on the right toward the back of the engine compartment.

			The CIS system has six aluminum runners that attach to a central plastic plenum via short (1.5") rubber sleeves.  The later systems use intake manifolds that are cast together, one per side.
