If you look just to the left of the throttle body and up a couple of inches and you see a small black container/canister (probably about 2" tall) with several vacuum lines coming out of it, it is OBDII. If you don't see this, it is OBDI. The little canister is very easy to spot.

is this true about the plugs color? i have this harness off the motor i bought and the ecu plug is white. So from what your saying its obd2 but then i look on [URL]http://catalog.eautopartscatalog. ... ensor[/URL] and the water temp sensor changes 7/1995 has a new sensor style as the 2/94-6/1995 has the old style. I thought maybe this was because of the change from obd1 to obd2 as far as the change in 1995

ECU says 3C real big and A18-B92 G21

The harness plug is white and the ecu is white with a 3C on it in black text on label. look at the front of your ECU does it say 3C?
