The Hollander Interchange Manual is a little misleading. Parts have to be an
EXACT match to get
listed as interchangeable. It isn't really a hot-rodder-parts-swapping guide.
For example, lots of
people put 200SX struts on the front of their 510's but Hollander doesn't list
that as in
interchangeable part.
