Replacement VASCAR cable III
Ok...I finally found an early replacement for the lower. Can anyone verify the cable arrangement on an '87-'89 car? I know not many are out there, but it would be interesting to see if Matt B.'s theory on the mass-air cars is right (for '89-up). Anyhow, here is the lower, and it's black, like the later, OE lowers were. The OE lower in my '83 CSP car is grey, BTW.

Here's a pic that Jim Y. and I took of my '83, for comparison.

Will those work on a '93?

No, I don't think so. I don't know enough about the VASCAR setup on the '87-up cars, but the end on my '93 car is definitely different. I'm thinking that the '89-up cars got the speed sensor attachment (if that's the correct name for the part), but I haven't been able to verify that yet. The pic below shows the termination at the transmission for my '93 on the black, lower. I originally bought that car at auction in '97, and the lower cable was bad. The Ford dealer gave me a regular cable for a non-cruise application, and it wouldn't fit. I can't remember if the cable end looked like the one above or not, but I remember having to swap out the cable for a cruise-one (even though the car never had cruise).

That end is for the speed sensor for the cruise control and or mass air equiped cars. That has a clip that holds it on/in the speed sensor for the 87-93 cars that have cruise control and or mass air.

That's what I was thinking....1989 was the first year for mass air, right? (1988 for the California cars?)
