Default 32 value or not

Hi Folks,
Bought my first Vett last week, a 1989 with 39K, in great shape and runs really well. My question is I want to change the oil and when I look up for the filter it shows a 32valve or not. How can I tell the difference seeing the filters are different for each? Owners manual didn't say anything.
Thanks in advance.

The 32 valve is the ZR1.

Entirely different beast.

And they didn't start production til 1990. There was just one '89 ZR1 as far as I know, and it resides at NCM.
