John

There are at least two versions of the 14167, the first of which was
intended to work with the SL/SL2, and the second of which lacks any cams at
all.  There may be a three-cam or R-cam version, as well, though I have
never seen such.

The 14127 will work on the SL2, but will require stop-down metering.
