There seems to be a lot of confusion about these boots, and the shift linkage change from 82, 83 and on.� It is not helped by people like me who respond about 82 linkage boots with "I have an 83 ... also!".. :) Actually I have an 82, I don't know why I responded that way.� If you look at his original link to the diagram, in the link text it says 1987.� The diagram is for an '82.� Like I said, lots of confusion.

�Ben - that is not the correct boot.� That one is for further forward on the rod assembly, and I think is for later years as well.� Check my previous post, I just ordered one of these and checked the part number by phone.�

�Alan,

I saw your last posting. I did not know exactly which part Ryan wanted. Just wanted to get him one possibility. 

Good find. I hope it helps Ryan as well.
