The former I cannot identify without a more complete description, but the latter is your air flap/thermostat system. The cable controls the air flaps, which are attached to the bar. The cable goes straight down, around a pulley and forward to the thermostat, which is attached to the sump on the bottom of the engine. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) San Diego (Actually La Mesa) '72 VW Westfalia Camper (Da Project) California, USA '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) e-mail: des@teleport.com '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (14.17@99.34) http://www.teleport.com/~des '93 Weber WG-50 (Da Piano) ============================================================================
