ABS sensor

Did you ever find one? I have been looking on and off for one for a number of years, no luck. PN 107-540-0017. If you found a source, and would like to share, that would be great. Thanks.

Okay, here's what I am looking at, but it does't look like the sensor in the previous reply. The two white wires are held in place by rubber fittings, I can pull them out, but what do I clean? ...

Best Ever

The most reliable car I ever owned was also the one I owned the longest- a 1979 Chevette, 1.6 liter 4-door 4-speed (manual). I bought it from my sister in 1981. She purchased it new in '79. It had...
