NF head.  from a mid/late 80's 5k/100.  The NG requires swapping in the
two piece intake manifold and fuel lines.

How to recognise the NF in a bay... 5 cyl (duh), normal asp., locking
plate riveted over the dist adj nut, knock sensor attached way down in
front on the left side of the block (near water pump).

That head gets you the bigger inlet valves.  it's a hydraulic lifter
head.  don't know if it changes the compression or not.
