ABS and other ramblings



So during the Thanksgiving break I decided to do some needed maintenance on
my 91 164L.

1)I ordered a Stebro rear exhuast( the quality of the product was
excellent.  It installed with no modifications and sounds good.  However,
the service left much to be desired.  I paid 52.00us for the 3day express
shipping.  It took 17 days to arrive.  Stebro says they will refund the
shipping but I have yet to see it.  I had planned on buying center section
but am having second thoughts now.)

2) Ordered and installed SS brakelines and motor mounts from
Centerline.(Good quality and excellent service.  I highly recommend them.)

3) New calipers and pads from Lightspeed/Ricambi.  I chose them because I
could drive up and get them(quality of product was good, the guy who served
me was alittle indifferent to the whole transaction).

All work was done with little or no problems.  I would like to commend Alfa
on making it so easy to change the exhaust system(unlike alot of the other
things on the car).
Also the brake lines, rotors and calipers were very simple.  Here is where
we come to my reason for posting.

My ABS warning light is coming on if I go above 80mph.   I know, I could
stay under that but this defeats the purpose of commuting in the alfa.
It does not come on under the 80mph.   I looked at the FAQ on the 164 page
and read some reference to the sensor at each wheel maybe being out.
My question is:  How do I test these?

I also plan on installing 164S regrinds from Centerline.   What do I need
to replace at the same time other than the timing belt?    Should I replace
the cam buckets?  Anything else?

Thanks to all the Alfisti faithfull.
