I kept the stock airbox because I have no room for the cone K&N I bought and I dont want to suck hot air in if I just mount it in the engine bay.

So I opened up the the stock airbox (ie cut out the screen) and ran a duct from the fender out to the bottom of the front valance for a cold air intake. I also put a drop in K&N in the airbox. Should work just as well as the cone.

But you know what, the Wiring sucks in this car ! The guy who owned this before me, bought it as the second owner in like 88 or something and he said his brother was a Ford Tech and did all the work since he's owned it.

Man he must really suck because I found so much screwed up  in this car it is freaking making me nuts!!!!!

all the wiring is rigged and spliced with those butt connectors. I have been getting rid of that  and soldering everything. Thats why I am taking so  long to get this thing running.

Geez...Ok Rant over ....thank you
