I was looking at a classified pic and the car is listed ans an 89 "Z28" but the under hood pic looks like a TBI w round air cleaner.
No TPI

Does that pretty much mean it's got to be an RS?
Can't see the plaques in the pics.

Yes. More than one, in fact; several did. Probably half of them or more though I don't have numbers. No doubt someone will.

The standard engine in an 89 IROC was a 305 TBI.

In 88, the TBI was the base engine as well. It wasnt until 1990 that the TPI was the base engine in the IROC/Z28. In 82-87, the LG4 was the base IROC/Z28 engine.
