I haven`t really looked into it much Jim, but I believe that the D8 carb is for the "regular" 2 barrel 302 used in 78 Mustang 11s,79 Mustangs and 78-79 Fairmonts etc, while the 82 only Mustang and Capris with the High Output 2 barrel 302s used a bigger carb (and camshaft as well.) The non HOs were rated at 139-143HP, the 82 HO was 157. Whatever the 82 HO carb # is, I`d bet it won`t have a kickdown lever on it.
