Ways to tell if you have a Canadian-built 305 SBC:
  1. Instead of 305 cubic inches, a 5.0L works out to more like 411.75 (CD);
  2. The coolant from the heater core passes through hosers ;
  3. You never accelerate, you ”Take off!”
  4. When you use low-octane fuel, it doesn’t go “Knock”, it goes “Knock, eh!”
  5. You open the hood, and the cap on the plastic tank alongside the radiator says “Molson Fluid Only”;
  6. Instead of a wing nut on the air cleaner lid, there are two diagonal pieces of duct tape;
  7. The temperature gauge only goes to -10° C;

The export style 305 in '84 should have a vacuum hose routing more like this:
