engine non identification; unusual engine serial #

Hi all,

Well, got me a 3/5 96 body with throttle body and supposedly some 80k on odometer that I'm not used to mechanikin on but thought I should start by joining forum and finding out year of engine.

So looking in right place as identified here in old thread by "Gasoline fumes" and also in service manual. Left side of block at seam with tranny. Next to "993cm3"

No year identifying letter after G10!, . And not rubbed out either. Just a clear dash mark after G10 then 6 digit # So what gives? Transmission serial # is nearby and has the required T letter for 1996. Chassis #'s all have the T

Pretty worried about this as thinking maybe got an OBD1 engine in an OBD2 car. Car runs fine with good mpg but there are a few wire connectors I can't identify yet hanging around that are not connected to anything (is that normal?) and check engine light allways on.

Can't find a crank position sensor which the 96 and newer have exclusively and is supposed to be attached to oil pan or around it

Crank sensor is at the very end of the pan and directly under the crankshaft sprocket. There is a hole in the flange of the oil pan to accept the sensor. If you don't have one then it is an OBDI engine. Are there 4 or 5 bolts holding the front pulley to the crankshaft sprocket? If 4 It is older than 94.
If it has 5 bolts and the timing belt is 3/4" wide then it is May93-95. If it has a a 1" wide timing belt then it is 96+.
