How can I tell if I have an OHV or SOHC?

[JBlack]

I have a 1996 Sport.

Was the SOHC even offered yet in '96?

I'm sure it was I have a 95 sohc, it should say on top of your intake manifold on the plastic part

 

[dman726749]

Another question since I am at work...

Does my Sport have 4-wheel disc brakes?
