I had never heard of early or late striker pins. It turns out that the
pins aren't different, but it's rather a method of cutting the fiberglass
behind the pin and shimming it a little more. This way you can adjust the
pin more in and out and up and down. Then you can get these little rubber
boots to cover up what you've done. There were a couple cars at the show
that had these boots, and they looked great. I wouldn't have noticed them
if it wasn't pointed out to me. >>

On my former early 1981, at PJ Grady's behest, the door striker pins were 
chamfered and cut to the 1982 style. The doors would close and latch with the 
touch of a finger!
Huge improvement and very effortless opening and closing of the doors.
