Is it the distribution block for the ABS? That's the only thing I can think of that's on the passenger side for 94-95

It has to fit - I checked out your pics you posted last night and it looks like you got the right radiator.
Should just slip right in - obviously, you have to get the dowels to pop in the hole but yeah, it should drop in.

*Sigh* That's the reason I will never buy a 94-95 Hybrid Stangs. Nothing ever seems to fit/fit right.

yea, thats the only thing stopping it, it wont slide into the dowel on that side because of that block. it needs to come forward bout 1/2in to fall into the dowel. i cant figure it out. thought about cutting the post off on that side and just using the other three. the block would hold it on that side. bad idea?
