The late 89 thru 90 has higher compression.  These are not the 86 thru early 89
MC engine cars.  Which is what I'm looking for.

correct.

The 91 200TQs have the 20 vavle engine,  the FWD 91 200Ts non-quattro
have the 10 valve engine.

Actually I've only been there once, Don't remember how long it took,  That
number is
from Dennis :-)

Unfortunately our field trip was postponed,  Kristen my little 5 month old
daughter is sick :-(
so maybe early next week.......  Besides when I called Dennis he told me some
bad news
that the car I was waiting for to come in, an 89 200TQ Red, has a light grey
leather interior...
neither my wife or I care for Grey leather, so that car is out. :-(  I thought
he orignally
told me it was Black........  oh well.
