The '88 has a cold start injector and the '89 doesn't. The runners won't match the later plenum. On my '86 i had to swap the whole thing, base, runners and plenum to use a '91 ported plenum i had on the shelf.

Thought so. Can the CSI be blocked off on the plenum using the 89 gasket?

I didn't try it. I test fit and it looked wrong so i changed it all. Maybe someone on here knows for sure on that. Good luck with the project.

I have early and late but not willing to tear them apart so surfed for these pics. 1st pic of early plenum, circled air passage early tb won't work with late plenum but late tb will work on either. 2nd pic late runner with cast material that will cover up early plenum opening.
