yes, i believe it is. they have two, make sure you get the corect one for your year. in 1987 the "new" style was introduced, which is kinda funny because they are more prone to failure then the 82-86 style. Laughing

Yeah, they spiked real recently, like within the past year or two. When I was first looking at buying a car you could pick one up for 2G's easy.
