I have a pentax k1000 and just got a Pentax AF200S flash (that does not have a synch cord input). Basicly I need a working hot shoe but the one that my pentax has I believe is busted. Anyone one of a good adapter that I can use to replace my hot shoe. I seen some on ebay that are hot shoe adapters with a sync cord input but i'm not sure if i can use that input to connect a cord to the adapter and the other end to the pentax k1000 and just slide my flash on top.

The adapter you mention should work. My beloved Minolta SRT-202 has a non-working hot shoe but the Vivitar 283 I've used for decades does have a synch cord. So an auxiliary shoe with a synch cord to connect to the camera should fire your flash just fine.
Check adorama.com or keh.com or bhphotovideo.com or the pentax site for the adapter.

Try getting a slave flash?
