Hey Vance,

	Actually, another source for the part may be the local junk yard.  Your
could possibly get it for as low as $10.00 or maybe less.  I had to get
a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) for my 1987 Buick Park Avenue, cost me
$8.00 for a $115.00 part new.  So hopefully you can get lucky. 
Unfortunately, I do not have any Service Manuals from 1982.  If I come
accross some information on the ESC and related for 1982 I'll post it
here.
