"Ok its my first post (be kind please) a couple of questions.
I run a Cranchi with an AQ145B (whats the difference from a 145A ?)
I have a Bosch 0231178017 F4 distributor fitted, I desparately need the two springs from the advance and retard weights, I am banging my head against a brick wall trying to source them as I live in Greece.

Will post the results!
Did anyone know the difference between the 145A and 145B ?"

"The AQ145A has a B23 block, and the AQ145B has a B230. Camshafts, heads and piston kits are different on both engines."
