'85s also sound diff at idle and seem to have a leaner calibrated IP.

Stick with something you know will fit properly.

Thanks for the info. I know the 83 I ordered will physically fit, bolt in and be functional. I'm just hoping I won't have to swap anything, but I won't know for sure until I recieve it.
