    I just popped the hood on my '93 Bronco & you can definitely see the difference on it. I still think you should get one specific to the year of the car just to make life easier! :)

    Glad to help. With the dozen or so timing covers Ford cast for the small blocks over the 40 year run, things get a mite confusing.
