[s-cars] if i could direct your attention here...

yeah, id agree that the added stress created the failure sooner than
should've/would've been.
 what is this hemiplatt,nuts,bolts washers solution you speak of?
 ....oh yeah,, those hydraulic components,, well ive replaced the bomb,
cleaned the ABS sensors, flushed the sytem twice, done the servo test,, and
for now, conclude that the ABS control module is at fault... I conclude this
mostly because the servo test didnt leak, and the ABS module is a much
easier replacement. .. so when i finally get the time for that, i will use
the one off my '93.
 only protect my naughtybits?,, :)) with my luck i might as well start
donning a full body suit
