For just the SHO (and a bunch of other American cars, the Universal with the
1101 adaptor is all you need. This list gives you the applications for all
cars wrt the adaptors:

For example, I bought the Power Bleeder Pro, since the 1101 fits the SHO and
the Honda, I needed the 1101 adaptor for the Porsche and the 1105 (GM-type
rectangular adaptor) for the Fiero, so the Pro model was a better package
deal with all three adaptors. The only other adaptor is the 1104 for the VW
Beetle.....which I don't see EVER needing!!

If you get the Universal with the 1101 adaptor, and later discover that you
need another adaptor, they can be purchased separately.

On a side note, if you get one, also pick up an 18-24" section of
hardware-store chain, as the two short pieces they give you are a PITA to
get around the m/c(if you get the bleeder, you'll see what I mean). Also,
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS with respect to centering the adaptor on the m/c
(BTDT!!). Also the adaptor must be cinched down very tight to use 20 psi.

Don Donelson talked to the Motive Products folks, and they are supposedly
working on a Ford-specific adaptor, which should be out sometime in the
future. That would make it easier yet.

Ron,

Which setup do you recommend on this web site? I'm thinking this would make
a great Xmas gift (to me, he he).
