I don't think there are any big differences between the two. Lingenfelter lumps them together:

I know when I got my 52mm for my '87 from TPIS I went and picked it up at their shop and the gaskets were different. They said "It doesn't matter."
I know if you look at the mount gaskets the early l98, l98 and lt1 are different, but they all bolt up the same.

Stealth Ram that make these points not matter?
Without knowing otherwise, I would choose the L98
TB for my '89 just to simplify hookups. However,
you say above they do not matter and I recall reading
in your other thread that at one point you anticipate
having to change the throttle cable ends.

What I NEED is a throttle body with TPS sensor and throttle cable. The rest does not matter very much for me as long as it fits the plenum.
I have seen pictuers where the IAC housing is bolted to the bottom of the plenum. Is that LT1, TPI or both? I think at least the LT1 has a removable IAC housing.

If it will help you, PM me with a list of
photos you'd like of a stock functioning
'89 L98 intake.
I will take and host as many of these
pics as I can tomorrow in the daylight
with any leftovers to follow in the near
future.
