84 will have ducting in the underhood for the Crossfire. 85 won't. The VIN will also tell the year....

Isnt it a shame the ducting on the hood of the 84 is blocked......I wonder if opening it at the radiator would have any real benefits.

build sheet in frame.

At the factory someone stuffed a build sheet into the frame that may still be there.

Sit on the passenger front wheel and look down at the frame for a D stamped hole. It is just big enough for your little finger. If you feel a piece of paper there you can tweezer it out.

None that you can feel. Might make a difference on the dyno. With only 165 rwhp, anything will help. The intake is the first of many bottlenecks on that engine.
