    Need Local Salvage Yard Info

    Hi folks,

    I need to find a good local salvage yard. My 1990 TBird SC's ABS system has bit the dust, and I plan to remove the ABS system and install a conventional ( NON-ABS ) system. It's a long story that I won't put you through - let it suffice to say that this swap will cost a lot less than fixing the problematic factory ABS system.

    Here's what I need to do the swap ( photos below ) :

    From a 1992-1993 Ford Crown Victoria that does NOT HAVE ABS and does NOT have the police interceptor package, a brake master cylinder, complete with the screw-in proportioning valve and fluid reservoir. I believe the part # is Bendix 12376,

    and...

    from a 1989-1992 Thunderbird, which is NOT a SuperCoupe and does NOT HAVE ABS, a brake vacuum booster unit. It MUST have the vacuum port on the DRIVER's side of the booster ( to the right as you're looking at it from the front bumper of the car ). Part # Cardone 54-74305 or Wagner 5474305.

    The master cylinder and booster are available new, but the proportioning valve, which screws into the rear brake port of the master cylinder, is not, so that's the main reason I need to find a salvage yard.

    A ton of SuperCoupe owners have done this swap and tossed their ABS units in the trash heap and love the performance and reliability. I will keep the stock parts ( don't worry Jason :D ) so the stock stuff can go back in someday if the "next" owner so desires.

    So - any info on local yards would be a big help. If you could include phone numbers I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks guys.

    Ron
