What's the difference ? 73 TE & 73 T ?

Can someone tell me what's the difference between a regular 73 T & a 73 TE ? There is any value difference ? Any trim difference ? Any performace difference ? Thanks guys

Quoting a recent PP thread

three versions of the 911T are listed in parts manuals as:

T-V. Vergaser. (carburetor) ROW
T-E. Einspritzer. (fuel injection/MFI) US
T-K. Kontinuierlich. (continuous/CIS) MY73.5

T E as can be seen on the Vin Plate was used for CIS. My car was a late July 1973 CIS. T-K is used in the PET for CIS.

Curious Sully. The E on your plate denotes the series of the car, not that it's fuel injected. Model Year '72 was "E" and MY '73 was "F"
Where I'm confused by your plate is that the car should be an F series based on the VIN (according to the red book).
Also confusing is that Porsche changed to Porsche AG in '73.5... during the "F" series. Your plate denoted AG, which is right for '73.5
