I don't think any. Well it depends on if you have the ends on the distributor side that unscrew or not. If so that can open up some options. Early M20 the dist is on the side, completely different location. Later M20 use the same ones as 85+ Motronic ones, which have dramatically different ends on them and won't go in the cap. 82/83 M30 Motronic maybe, but I doubt it.
