I would call them, tell them what you have. Seems like they would be in the best position to give you a good answer. Unless someone else here has used those and knows they will fit.

Definitely call, it seems strange that it has them listed for Manual (All 82). There were no manual transmissions in the 1982 model. I believe that style is for the 1350 series U-joint. If you check the caps on yours you can tell if they're 1330 or 1350 by the outside diameter. The 1330 is 1.062" and the 1350 is 1.188".

The 80-81 manual cars are the same as the 82. They put all the heavier components from the 80-81 manual cars in the 82. They use a larger u-joint than the 80-81 auto cars. 80-81 manual and 82 auto only, used the 1350 half shaft u-joints with 5/16" strap bolts. The 80-81 auto cars used the 1330 half shaft u-joints with 1/4" strap bolts.
