Maybe... I will need to get the actual numbers to be sure but going off the numbers he gave the variance (per my calcs) is about 14% and that's under 15% that MB gives as maximum variance - not great but still under max variance.
Another question: I don't see the blue saucer vacuum modulators that I had in my '85 - is that normal for '83?
