Re: IML: 90 Imp ABS

["Brian" <Rocketman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found out that I did NOT have to change the pedal, but that was after I had already taken it out... of both the vehicles, salvaged unit and retro unit.

The info I found on this website was extremely helpful.

Thanks to all.

Brian

There may not be a direct cooresponding connection to this wire.  On a non-ABS car, this wire goes to a warning light to tell you that you've lost some or all of your braking power, usually due to low fluid or a broken brake line.  Since the ABS is undoubtedly very much computer controlled, there may not be an easy way to connect this wire.  I did not connect it on my system...maybe not an ideal solution but one I can live with.

 

Brian.  Did you confirm that the brake pedal on the Bosch system will bolt up directly to the Dynasty style vacuum booster?  Changing the pedal out on a Bendix system is certainly the worst part of the job IMO.  If the peday doesn't need changing, a retrofit on a Bosch car would be a fairly easy task.

I just completed a retrofit on a 90 new yorker with the Bosch-3 ABS to vacuum.

It went very well.

I have left over parts from the Bosch,

Only problem that I have is connecting the wire for the proportioning valve. anybody know the color wire to connect this to?
