That is actually a valve that is used in the '85 and older cars. I am most certain someone replaced the original with that one. No way to know if it was from a 4 disk car or not. The function of both designs is the same so if it is from a 4 disk car it will work for you. Check this thread out. It talks about both design combo valves.
