Allegedly to stop wheel hop and/or spring wrap

Yes, Noobs is correct. It was used all the way to 2004.

After a SECOND compressor from Amazon is not an FS10, I ordered a Denso tonight. It's Korean, which is where a lot of the newer Ford compressors are made.

Some people take them off and are fine, others remove them and have problems. It's a craps shoot. (The Corral has dozens of threads on the subject.) Have you tried flipping them end for end? Often that gains you some clearance.

On another note, I think I'm good for awhile...

Mine are KYB's and they won't flip like the factory style. Maybe I'll swap quads between the two Fox's and see if I can sneak them in there. Good idea. Glad you stocked up on the FL1A's.

EDIT: I wish it would warm up.... seeing this pic below reminds me of just how deep the project has gotten, lol.

Thank you, my friend! They are in my cart now...

I'm hoping to get to do a little on Frankie this weekend. I need to roll the fenders, then I think I'll make some 3/4" spacers to simulate SN95 axles. It's inevitable that the 3 pound Tonya Harding is going to need to do some reshaping in the wheel well.

Tim Allen announced last night that ABC just signed on with a new series he'll be in called Shifting Gears.

I'm a fan of the dude... glad to see he'll be back on TV.

Loved that episode of Tool Time when his Nomad got smashed by a big beam or something.
