Seems that the 1.6 IPs should be easier to find than a decent 1.5 IP. Will it work? Advantages? Disadvantages?

I believe the timing and fueling curves are a tad different..  It wil run okay, maybe not exactly up to par though..

I ran a 1.6 pump on a 1.5 and felt it ran better, but that could be because the 1.5 pump was shot...
