Based on our 82 experience here is one method. There are many variations in configurations over the three years and around the country based on where the cat and the EGR are located. These differences change the left exhaust manifold configuration and heater box design specifically. We needed the left exhaust manifold for the 82 and were quoted a price 300+ for an OEM replacement. Your best alternative is to locate a wrecker with all of the required parts and have them remove the parts for you. We paid 50 for the exhaust manifold. But the catch is you must make sure that all the components match the existing system perfectly. The Haynes manual has a pretty good blow-up of the possible configs and variations. You would think that there would be an after market for these items - but I believe even JC Whitney does not stock the cast iron parts for these years - just the muffler.....DC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Carment School of International Affairs Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 voice - (613) 788-2600-6662 fax - (613) 788-2889 Email address: dcarment@ccs.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------
