Looks like a 1990 not 1992

Yes that’s true, but what gives it away.

I would put my vote in for the red in the cam cover emblem.

That’s the obvious give away. But there’s another.

By the way, it sure is dirty for a 20K engine in my opinion.

I have to concede here. The only one's I have worked on are 90's.

Picture isn't very good, so a bit of a disadvantage.. appears that the vent flow pipes on the side of the plenum are both straight. Only the 1990 had straight pipes, 1991 and newer had a curved rear pipe taking the hose under the plenum..

Missing the oil level sensor in the oil pan, that got added in 1991
