Actually, the 82 is one year and 83 another. So 2 years of diesels sold
here. Many differences between the 82 and 83 diesels. Virtually the
entire cooling systems are different from front to back. The 83s came
with 5 speeds, so the shifting stuff is different from front to back as
well. The basic engines are the same.

They made more AC Vanagons than Diesel ones for a start!
