pedal assembly
It's been a while since i've posted, so i'll try to make this one count
I'm Looking into swapping a manual transmission into my 82, and have heard that the 83 and earlier pedal assemblies are different from the 84-85 assemblies.
what exactly is different, and is there any benefit of one over the other?
Thanks in advance

So there's no difference with the pedals themselves, or the wiring (brake light, cruise, whatever), it's just a bracket issue.
I have access to both versions, just wasn't sure if there was anything "improved" or better with the newer style.
thanks

the pedals themselves are different, yes. mounting is a touch different as wacky touched on it a little bit. basically, the 81-83 pedals are partially secured by a stud and a nut. teh 84 and 85's are not. they are just bolted to the firewall. slot the 84-85 pedal assembly for the stud if you use that assembly.

As they said the pedal "frame/support" is different, but 84/85 pedals can be installed on a 83 and older frame with little difficulty. The only thing that requires any modification is the clutch pedal since 83 and older use a simple spring to return the pedal where the 84/85 has that crazy looking shock absorber/spring assembly, simply cut off the brakcet on the clutch pedal for that and drill a hole for the spring and on it goes. The rest pretty much bolts right up. Hope that made sense.....
