Help me identify my TPI system?

I've had this TPI set-up for quite a while, but I've yet to use it for anything. I was told that you F-body fella's could probably identify it for me. I need to know what year this is (or what year engine's it is designed to fit) and whether or not it's meant for a 305 or 350. See the photos below:







Thanks!

Looks like its 88 and down and I think the 305 and 350 TPI systems were the same.

if you look at the first pic , the runner looks like it has a hole for the 9th injector, but its on the passenger side!!? so someone probably assembled it wrong.. that runner should be on the driver side.. if i am looking at it correctly..

the same tpi came on 305 and 350s..

if it does have a 9th injector hole than the runners are from 1988 or before.

Nah, the cold start is on the correct side, the passenger side is a metal tube that connects the RH breather to the throttle body. Its a 85-88 setup, cant say if its 85-6 or 87-8 from the pics, only way to tell besides a date code is the angle of the center 4 bolts from the intake to the head. If all the bolt holes from the intake to the head are the same angle, then its an 85 or 86, otherwise its 87 or 88.

The injectors seem to be on there, and are different from the 305 to 350. The rest is all the same between the two engines though.

There is a date code on the underside of the plenum. It will be cast into the plenum with a bunch of little dots around it.
