Cold Air Intake

 Its all about the flexible pipe.

I have been slowly working on cleaning up the engine bay and "making it right".

As the Mach1 has the California emissions option, this includes a cold air intake plastic duct that runs under the battery tray and picks up cold air from behind the bumper in front of the radiator and feeds it into the air cleaner snorkel.

When I got the car the flexible rectangle pipe was missing and is a fairly hard to come by part.

With the help of the 7173Mustangs.com forum, I was able to locate a Jeep part that is very close that what I needed. So I ordered one from a local (within Australia) Jeep supplier.

The pipe is probably a bit small compared to the original factory one but is a good stand in.

Here are pictures of the pipe with the dimensions.

The gap that needs to be filled.

The plastic "mouth" piece on the snorkel has holes that look like the original part was stapled to it. As the replacement part is a bit smaller, I elected to leave it the supplier length and push it into the receiving plastic part.

I think the original part is supposed to slide over the plastic duct. But in this case it fits inside.

Install complete.

 Next job, hmm not sure..
