Not sure exactly what you need, Paul. Do you need a diagram of where the tubes actually go? There's a schematic outline of water flow & the tubes involved shown in Bulletin 10 of the Tech Service Bulletins from Ford. As for mounting the alternator, you will need some type of bracket; either the stock one or the GT5 or -5S type that allows a stock alterrnator to mount above & behind its usual place. The alt. will then be driven off the rearmost sheave of the AC pulley and will allow the so-called "flat firewall" on the passenger side. BOth brackets are available from all the Pantera vendors, or, a good welder could duplicate either bracket in a few hours, probably costing close to what the vendors would charge.
Jack, what I need to know is where the pipes go from under the car to the supply tanks. and up front. witch pipe goes to the radiator. does the top hose go to the right or left and does it go to the waterpump or the supply tank. I looked at the technical ser. bull. and didn't see it but I looked at my parts book [sec. 11 illustration 18] and it showes the hoses going from the top rad. to the left and then to the waterpump. my waterpump is on the right as you look at it.[not sitting in the car] is this correct.if so I would cross over the waterpipes? thanks
