Langley,
I want to order a clutch kit soon but I'm not sure whether I have a 6 or 7 bolt block. I can't go by the oil pan because I had it changed last year because my stock one was dented. How else can you check for it? I read somewhere about counting the number of headbolts after removing the valve cover, is that true and how many bolts means what?
Any other ways to check?

sorry, I just looked at slowboyracing.com and it does not say whether or not you need to specify the engine type. Do you need to specify 6 or 7 bolt block when you buy a new clutch or is that just for a new Flywheel?
 
1G's switched to 7-bolt engines halfway through the 92 model year. Your car is more likely to have the 7-bolt since it's a 93. You should specify that you have a 1G 7-bolt just to be sure they send you the correct part.
