Default intake on my 86

i recently bought an 86 in pieces like a dummy and it came with 2 intake manifolds i am wondering if an 86 has an opening at the back of the manifold near the distributor for an egr tube as one of the intakes has it and the other dont just dont want to bolt up the wrong one PLEASE HELP!

You search here for 5 minutes, you can probably find a dozen pics of L98 intakes...

I got haynes in another room, but I'm doin' my phys rehab bike at the moment.

it should be a round stamp that looks like a clock.. or it could just be numbers like g86 for aug 1986... its somewhere on the manifold. all castings have a date stamp.. not sure how they looked in the 80's but there are not many numbers on the manifold. maybe someone can chime in

If I'm not mistaken, my 85 does not have a hole for egr in the back. I think I have seen this on an 87 but not sure on an 86.
