    At the risk of sounding like an idiot - What is this M42 part??

    Ok, first, it certianly looks a lot like a thermostat, and its got an electronic pin dealio, so logic would tell me its an electronic thermostat. Makes sense right? Ok, maybe it is. Problem solved? Not quite..

    Over the past couple months and several partial days of screwing around :drink: swapping one M42 into another car with a busted one, we've (Myself and Cary for the most part) have managed to lose track of most parts and where they go. Its not all my fault!

    Does anybody have any pictures of where exactly it is located, where the hoses connect to other hoses, and most stumping of all, where the hell the wires are they plug into it??? We've basically used up all of the plugs that come out of that giant junction box, unless there's one hidden somewhere that we cannot see.

    On to the picture..


    One more. Does anybody have any decent pictures of where the maze of hoses and shit goes that is directly under the middle of the intake manifold? This cluster includes that 180 degree metal pipe and goes off in some odd different crazy looking branches and what not.

    Um.
    Thanks...

    Oh god... I mean really. Look how we took apart the old engine. Not that it's good or anything, but do we look organized? hahahaha!

    Thats Cary.

                    I think Cary is going to sell off whatever parts he can from that motor. I dont know if he'll be using the valve cover and intake etc on the engine we have in the car right now or not, but in the end, there WILL be one that wont be in use.

                    Matt, thanks for that pic. Anything will help if you have any other pictures yet, or soonish. I'll prob be going back to fiddle with the car tomorrow sometime.

                    Guess we should try to be a little more organized "next time"

                      yea, i did my own swap a year or so ago. To be honest, Theres no way to keep organized when 2 people are pulling shit off of the car left and right. Esp if you are ready to get that thing out of the car like i was.
                      Its been hot as shit around here for the past 3 days. So ive been trying to stay indoors.
                      I will have some pics up soon because i have to put new gaskets on it.
