So just to confuse things, or clarify them, do the 87-88 TC square intakes, the ones with the Ford logo and stripes on the upper, use the same EGR tube as 85.5-86 SVO's because they are less tall right???
The shorter upper manifold casting on the 87/88 TC (square design) has the attachment point about 0.35" lower than the taller intake on all the other engines. So both will fit, with a wee bit of extra force and care during assembly.

The angle of entry of the tube to the EGR valve between the two manifolds (in0line versus square) is drastically different though.
