[s-cars] Looking for 92 spec build date and features info

[David Forgie]

Cody:  I know all about what Kate says things are *supposed* to occur. This is a previous post I 
made (but I don't believe it anymore):

I want real world data. For example,  I just got an email from a NN098nnn owner who has the CPS
 behind the cam sprocket (which Kate says isn't possible). The issue is the break is actually based on
 which intake cam going into which engine and then which engine going into which car, starting at engine AAN003911 which was sometime *before* the end of January 1992.  January cars ended
 with NN089134 so by beginning of February, there were alread some engines with the CPS behind the cam sprocket in the inventory.  I  want to try to find the breakpoint better than Kate says. I know
 of  a NN09nnnn car with the tuna can but now also this NN098nnn with the CPS behind the 
sprocket.

Kate hides the strut bar real well.  You can find it (without an image or call-out number in 805-00)
 as: 8A0805645A "connecting pipe". 

This is the same bar are the 80/90 bar (where it shows in 805-00 illustration)

Or so I was told.
