Something else for me to add to the round to-it list, eh? _____________________________ 78 T-top 77 Cobra 78 coupe (for sale:cheap) 78 Ghia (also for sale:good resto-project) 94 Crown Vic P71 (in reply to my77stang) Post #: 42

RE: 78 Mustang II - 4/27/2007 12:31:28 AM    shug Posts: 30 Joined: 1/8/2007 Status: offline Some pics of the engine removal ..... and some questions!  Like what are the hoses that are plugged ? and why!! ...is that the air supply pump mounted below the alternator it looks like it is not in use as I think the hose with the sparkplug jammed in it attached to the back of it!!!  Any help or comments on what you can see would be great....
