Default Re: 1978 Mustang II

Spent today getting some things done to the Mustang II. We removed the old water pump. Took off the PS pump and all the old brackets. Boy, that cleared up some space. Gonna flush out and clean up the radiator. Reroute the transmission cooler lines and add an exterior trans cooler. For the time being removed and looped the PS lines to the steering box together. Poor mans manual steering. Eventually I'll get a manual rack and change it out.

For now we only have the water pump mocked up. Need to work on some different spacers. Figure out some belt length. Had to scavenge a backing plate from an old water pump and made a couple simple modifications to it. Not happy about having the car down. Not everything goes together as simply as I'd like.
