ac wot cut-off relay. It turns off the a/c when you mash the throttle so you have more power and you dont break the clutch inside the compressor.

i dont have ac so do i need to buy one for my harness lol

Lawbreaker5.0 · May 12, 2010

That i don't know. Do you still have the other harness, i'm trying to remember without going back, 93? grab one from that harness if you have one. If not, go to a junkyard there is always atleast one relay left, either the a/c or fuel under the maf-92 and 93 and for sure under the seat of 86-91. I don't think pre 86's will work. And thats pocketable at a junkyard

what do these go conect to i dont want to do it wrong lol thanks in advance these are from the 4banger i was not sure if i need to swap that thing that has a bag covering it on the driver side fender so i left it alone.

Lawbreaker5.0 · May 13, 2010

That thing is the vacuum pump. If you want cruise and the 5.0 had it. Switch it out. Or atleast switch the cruise cable. I think there are two nuts on the back and it pulls out. Then you unhook it. the vacuum hoses. I know the one with that fitting goes to the brake booster. I can't really tell what the other one goes to. google vacuum diagram 5.0 and you'll find a few write ups with pictures. Heres one place.

I don't know what your talking about. If your talking about the brake booster you can use the 4 cylinder's. The cruise cable is not a vacuum line so you don't need to cap anything.

no im not talking bout the booster lo,l im talking about the crusecontrol on the 4 cyl, it has 2 houses and on the v8 it has one, so what im asking is do i have to swap them from 4 to 8, or can i just not conect it and be fine.

lancec2c30 · May 17, 2010

I dunno about the second line, but the one that is attached to your brake pedal assembly should be the same setup between both the V8 and 4cyl. cars. Nothing to swap over.

dave181760 · May 17, 2010

its wierd cause there are 2 lines coming out the fender its got me confuesd im about to pull the fender and follow it

Just because you didn't have the ability to complete the swap doesn't mean nobody else can.

I wasn't bashing him.I went through this a while ago,in the end it wasn't worth the headaches I went through at the time.
I was just getting into Mustangs from Mini-trucks and VW's.
It was a whole new learning curve with little to no resources to do it with.
I finally got it done...with a Carb. conversion though,this was in 94 at the time.
I salute him most definitely!IT was a severe PITA to figure it all out without any inside knowledge.
Good Luck ..I wish him well for sure.
Peace
