yes, the prepump style didn't start until 1985, and yes the 8V non turbos had them.
That being said, the 1983 has a funnel device on the bottom of the pump that reaches the bottomw of the tank somewhat like the prepump does on the later models. It is possible that either the pump itself is going out, or that rubber upside down funnel is off or leaking.
We have successfully "upgraded" a couple of circa 1983 8V cars to the 1985-88 pump style with the prepump. The mount at the top is the same, minor changes involved inside to make it go (should that be your problem).
