awsome thanks, but the smog pump is the air pump right.

Does anyone know the color code for an 87 black mustang, im looking but cant find it.

Do you just rip of the air silencer, what is the benefit of not having one

yes you should take it out bc its restricting your air flow. The smog pump is the pump below the alternator

Just unbolt your airbox and take it off, then unbolt the bolts you see under there and the air silencer should drop down. Then of course put your airbox back, lol.
