Vin Codes 1981

Hey guys and gals, I wasnt quite sure if I put this in the right place. Anyways I have a problem and it lies within the vin code of a vehicle that I was thinking about purchasing. I searched the site and read some of the other peoples questions and then went to some the vin decoders that they suggested. But I went to one and then I went to another and got some different information. So here's the Vin that I was trying to decode 1FMDU15E2BLA38908 now in an email the guy gave me this 1FMDU15E28LA38908 "that 9 could be A 5, I couldn't make it
out very well" Well after getting some info from the site I changed the tenth digit from an 8 to a B. Well let me know what you guys think of this if your willing to help and If I need to clarify or help you guys out in anyway. thanks in advance.

The 10th digit is the "check digit" and it can contain 0-9 or "X". B isn't right.

My lists all say engine E is the 5.0L/302ci.
