Jeff, My '85 4000sq has had two of the cable style reg's in the last 5 years and needs another one. Everyone tells me to go with the new design. It seems to me that the newer part is cheaper and better than the cable type. ($160 as opposed to about $240) I plan on switching all of mine when time and $ permits. Good Luck and Happy Motoring --Eric Gorger '85 4ksq
