Not so much under the hood. My ABS pump is in the storage compartment behind the driver's seat under the black removable tray. I think we have pretty much deduced that the 85 does not have ABS. Not necessarily a bad thing. I just spent 2 grand replacing my pump.

We're just trying to drive to the next rally, not going to the moon 
. Most informative article, thank you drcook. It would be wonderful to have that feature if it always worked, but I'd hate to see the repair bill if it ever went bad.........and you know some day it WILL give you trouble. I'm an "old school" (75 years old) kind of driver and I'm quite satisfied mine doesn't have it. I have enough problems...don't need any more.$$$$$. Having said all that I was totally interested in the article, learned alot from it. Thank you very much drcook

My 86 has ABS. It's amazing that it still works after 35 years. I like to exercise it regularly. If it ever becomes a problem it is really simple to remove and bypass. Several threads on that in this forum.

I would use it regularly enough it won't matter. Plus I do make sure my brake fluid is flushed every 2 years for all my cars. Take 1 day as a flush day for all cars, powersports, etc, etc. If it does fail on me, NFW would I ever consider a bypass. I'd consider it rolling off a cliff before I do a bypass if it is too expensive assuming I can't sell it as is.

It cost me 2000 to get the ABS fixed. That included a used pump 450, a master cylinder 400, and a complete flush and refill. That's a lot of money on a car I purchased for 7500 but I never considered a bypass. Just couldn't see removing safety equipment that can save my ***.
