what are the part numbers that you are looking for ?
I take it the van was originally american spec ? We didn't have digi on our 2 litre engines
You could run it in uk spec with TCi ignition and distributor though that would depend on what your test accepts for emmissions for this age vehicle.

You really need to find someone with an oscilloscope and check live readings from all the components before replacing parts. Also check the fuel pressure is not to high as this will inject more fuel in the same time the injectors are open. Later five pin air flow meters could be fitted as long as the two track resistances are the same, pins 36 & 39 of your old airflow meter only work the fuel pump cut off which was superseded by a tacho signal and relay on the later systems.
