Default Heres a wierd one

I am in the process of rebuilding a 82 5 speed car. pulled the pod to install LED lights and now get a Anti Lock Brake warning. Funny thing is, I don't have ABS.
??????????

Educated guess is that the cluster already had the ABS light in it in prep for the introduction in late 83 of ABS on the cars.
Now why it coming on is another question, are you sure you have the right connectors hooked up?

Brad, I'm thinking you may have 2 of the connectors reversed.

I figured with the title of the post I would find a picture of Sean or Curry.

Man you can't imagine how cool his neighbors are. I was down in DFW for a tech session at Brad's and his neighbor flies over the house (like 20 feet) in a Huey and lands in his yard. I asked Brad why his neighbor has a Huey. "Because he wanted one".

How cool is that!

My neighbors have a camper. It can't hover.
