They're the same one that LMR sells.

EDIT: This guy did it exactly like I did. Put both spacers up at the top, whereas those instructions on RA say to use them on the axle bracket. It's impossible to put one in there, let alone both as they imply. I used 2 thin washers to fill the gap on the axle bracket.

It sounds/looks like KYB is making something work, whereas the Gabriels were made to work (although every listing I've seen for them calls them a "steering stabilizer." ) Either way, even if those spacers put them off axis a smidge, I'm sure they're just fine.

Good news on the wheel. What's the style again, and what rubber is going on them?

Using what to connect to the ECU?


first, I'm assuming you're mass air and not speed density to be able to use A9L2. You use a Moates Quarterhorse emulator plugged into the J-port, a printer USB cable and a suitable laptop. QH is an emulator so you can use the laptop to run the vehicle and make changes without cycling the key. It's nice for some things like dialing in idle air. It also datalogs and it probably surpasses whatever datastream eec4 gives if any. I think A9L2 has the hack where you can plug a wideband 0-5v output to the egr valve position pin and some sort of fan control.

Cobra R wheel has been obtained. My friend has bailed me out a lot over the years... I met him in 1995, not too long after I bought The Eight Nine. He's owned 90+ Fox Body's. I think he told me 95 about a year ago.

Thanks for the info. The link goes cold though:



I have a couple friends running Moates. Both of them are in the 11's. Another one is running Megasquirt (twin turbo 351), and quite a few running Holley.

One of my reasons for wanting a Holley setup is this is for a 351. I have acquired the coveted lower GT40 style intake, but I really can't find what I want (Downs Ford) for the upper intake without a grundle of money. I can sell a lot of the parts I already have and come out close to even by using the carb intake and Holley setup.

I was told by our local Holley dealer two weeks ago that Holley told him nothing will ship until at least late July. Moates says early August. So it looks like I may be messing with stock pieces for a bit anyway, depending how the stars align. This is for an 88 GT, which I converted to Mass Air last summer. I'm running an A3M ECU in it right now, which is minimally different than the A9L. I also have an A9L I can tinker with if need be.

Just went to check the FP on Frankie, and the deal that pushes the valve stem is MIA. Just had to order a new hose from Bosch. Eeek...

I did take it for a toot though. It is much happier with the new shocks.

The deal inside the Ford adapter ? That's strange ehh.

Yea, I bet on the shocks.

I'm done losing weight, hit 189 last week. I can tie my boots without complaints again.

Finishing the garden today hopefully.
