As I stated in my previous post, a somewhat serious issue was found regarding the wiring under the hood. Many wires have become exposed because the insulation has dried, cracked, and come off. This picture shows the wires going into the voltage regulator -




This plug is on the driver's side, which shows the bare wires -




This one is UGLY, and shows the main harness plug by the driver's side shock tower -




Heat shrink is good stuff for repairing the original wiring, were possible. But the wires in some cases are so baked that heat shrink will not work. For those instances, Kris will be harvesting the correct color wires from a newer 5.0L Mustang harness to repair the damaged wires. It's a very tedious job!

Here is a shot of the engine bay taken yesterday -




Once the wiring issues are addressed, Kris will have to replace the needed vacuum lines/parts that have deteriorated. Then he'll button up the final engine assembly.
