In the process of cleaning out the back room at work, the parts manager ran across a couple BRAND NEW 81740 Kelsey Hayes controllers and another one of a different brand (I forget what it was). Both the KH's have March 27 86 stamped inside them, so they weren't the last model made, but I bet they'll still work okay.

There is one in my 78 Chevy that still works to this day.

I have the K-H 81740c in my F-350. The paperwork that came with it is stamped Oct, 1991.
The "C" requires less fluid displacement to activate than the earlier 81740 and works better with the rear abs systems.

Well, it'll be going in a '95 that only has rear antilocks, so it should be okay (since others seem to be getting away with it, anyhow). And it really can't be any worse than the Activator II it's replacing... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
