It sounds like I've got exactly what I need then, since my 89 is not one with the quick connect, but rather the splayed group wiring hardwired to the provided 25k Push/Pull pot.
I'll look into finding a used Blackout SC & wire it up to the same pot with my usual toggle/pot/pickups wire scheme (basically, sans the tone pot) and I'm good to go.
Pot Up= Tele SC Sweetness
Pot Down=Shredtastic.
