Look at the bottom of the intake ports. The casting straight on the bottom
edge. Many of the Yates intake manifolds do not have a valley cover. The
heads are straight along the bottom for a flat valley cover. C3/C302/C302B
high ports are not straight along the bottom edge. Also note how the
rocker stand pads are flat and span the head bolt holes. High ports pads
are separated by the bolt hole and follow the valve angle cant. Also, you
can see the fore-and-aft port shift if you look at the distance from the
center pair of intake bolt holes compared to the intake port edges. High
ports are symmetric there. It's blurry but the casting date appears to be
2/95 which corresponds to Yates heads.
You might ask the seller to send a close up of where it shows the C302.
