Holy Sh*t! This is enough to scare the hell out of me. Thoughts of the "Fun Run" at SITM come to mind. 
Any ideas on how I can determine if this was already taken care of? I bought the '85 in 1992.

Do you have the original maintenance book in the glove box? There may be reference to it in there. If there was any service performed by a dealer after the recall, I assume the recall would have been addressed during that service.

well, now I understand why I have receipts for my whole brake system (master cylinder, rubber lines) being replaced not once but twice in the early 1980's. Interesting.
