Hey what's up, name's Robert from NEA, Jonesboro i got this 88 fc quite awhile back and haven't gotten around to working on it, when i bought it didn't run. When i was pushing it backward off the trailer i noticed something was catching on the ground, there was a hardline that was halfway or farther running to the back that was broke and hanging to the ground, i was in a hurry so i bent it up into the engine bay to get it out of the way. Awhile back i figured i'd try to push start it to get it running, i had a truck push me down my driveway and it kicked over and got down to the end of my lane and it died again, haven't tried since. My question is what is this line for? in these pics i've outlined the line i'm talking about, it is bent double in the bay right now. sorry for the long question

Air pump hose? I dont know if it could a tube that runs from the exhaust to the 5th and 6th ports that uses the exhaust backpressure to actuate them open. Not too familiar with the 6 port setups. Anyone else?

I believe that is the air tube for the main catalytic converter. It is part of the emissions system, you could just block off all ends.
Later, Kevin

Oh yea, if its a S4 motor you have to wire your auxiliary (5,6) ports open. If its a S5 you do not.

Not a bad looking car. I like the 4wd stance.

lol, yeah, seeing as how it doesn't run i'm not too worried about it at the moment. the body is really straight and the paint isn't too bad
