Thanks for the clarification on that. 
So all syncro's 
And all 86 and up,  2WD with AC have the big one.
All others the small.

The number of speeds does not make the main difference in loudness, fan
motor size does.

82-85 have a smaller quieter fan motor

86+ 2wd without A/C have the smaller quieter fan motor

Syncros have a larger louder fan motor

86+ with A/C have the larger louder fan motor
