OK, so its the 1st update of the old fireball engine,after it was moved to the front wheel drive. Does my vin code have anything in it I can use to find out what I have or is this all I need to know to have my cam ground? :?

The 8th VIN digit tells the engine.

Ok, let'* solve this once and for all. Go outside, pop your hood, and tell us how many valve cover bolts you have.

3 bolts in the middle - LG3
6 bolts around the perimeter - LN3
