You need the cams from a multipoint injection engine built between aprrox 1995 and 1999.
After that coil packs replaced the distributer and other changes were made.
To be sure look for a 214Sei -- they all had the 104ps engine.
If you put the two types side by side on the bench difference in the cam is visible to the naked eye, the later hotter cams have fatter lobes that
are less "pointy".
It is actually possible to insert the dizzy rotor arm drive peg into the post 1999 cams but it iseasier to get the right part.
Post 1995 engines also have a better design of cylinder head -- see Dave andrews site.
These are really easy engines to do major work on but following book overhaul procedures is a must.
