To best determine which bushing to get just look at your torque arm where the bushing goes and see how it is made.
Chances are it is the one that faces away but you had best check to be sure. I put one on an 83 TA that was suposed to have the 82-83 mount but someone had put a newer torque arm and bushing & bracket on the car and it used the later style mount.

For any other guys, there's a picture of what we're talking about by "lips facing the driveshaft" at http://www.energysuspension.com . They really improved that site a lot, they even have part #'s up now!
