I need a picture

[mrzw70]

Does anyone have a picture of their engine bay, specifically the drivers side from the strut tower forward. I'm reassembling and can't remember exactly where all the wiring is supposed to run and how a couple of things get remounted. I'd like to have one without the large black plastic cover next to the battery. I had taken pics with my old cell phone before disassembly but it got wiped. Thanks in advance. :)

Check my video it have what you need, lots bay shots.

[mrzw70]

Thanks Ford Builder those helped some. I do still need a couple of specific things though. I need to see where the negative battery cable attaches to the body and the correct location where the power steering hose gets screwed to the front frame rail. I'm still looking on line though.

The power steering hose is attached to a stud on the back of the coolant recovery bottle bracket.

Thanks Chalky that's one down. Now about that negative attachment point....

Thanks man. The overall cleanliness of the entire car with it's relatively low miles is what made me pull the trigger. I was lucky enough to get it this way, so all I have to do is keep it that way. lol

Super nice Escogt!!! Don't be afraid to turn up the wick on that car!

You better replace the metal tube from the intake to the fuel regulator - That's the only thing I can see on that car that looks more than a day old!!!!

Does it even have any leaks????

[mrzw70]

Thanks for the pictures guys but I still haven't been able to see exactly what i'm looking for, I will keep looking though. Escogt, that is the cleanest engine bay I believe I have ever seen. Awesome looking car.

Here's an assortment of the front engine compartment installation of the electrical harness. The harness had already been mod'd to use three relays (two headlamp and one cooling fan). There are some details on where the harness and battery ground lugs bolt to the inner fender. Either scrape the paint off or use a star washer and make sure it digs through the paint for a good chassis ground.

You sure got that right Chalky. I had just decided to pull all of those engine compartment pics into a folder on my desktop for future reference.
That is unless Mike has them copyrighted, or ain't into allowing them to leave this thread.

I am looking for the very large black plastic cover next to the battery that mrzw is talking about.
