Hi, Steve. Larry Stock's shop was one of the first I know of to make a practice of deleting these. We think DeTomaso/Ford used a front wiring loom from some other car- likely front engined- as a cost saving so there's maybe 10 FEET of extra wires that are factory-taped under all Pantera front hood supports. Many can be safely deleted but I can't tell you which are delete-able without a VOM. In fact that's probably why DeTomaso/Ford left them that way. I was told only a couple are 'hot'....
