I haven't picked this Bronco up yet but from the pictures of the engine bay it almost looks like there is a hose missing. What do you folks think?
Look right behind the battery. Ooops. I should've mentioned it's a "95 Bronco 351.

Thanks in advance.

 

thats just for the air injection pump. its suppose to be like that.

 

yes its where the smog pump sucks air from. Its made like that.


btw, if you take the top radiator hose and loosen the clamp to where the hose connects on the t-stat housing, turn the hose a bit and the hose will stand up and sit on top of the radiator shroud. You won't need any zip ties to hold it up.

 

Actually, there is a hose missing, but it's nothing to lose any sleep over. There is a paper flex hose that goes on the end that you were concerned about, and follows the fenderwell down towards the firewall. It's only purpose is to reduce the possible road debris that could get sucked into the smog pump filter.

Not critical unless you do a lot of driving on dirt/gravel roads.

 

Also, FWIW, one of the first things I'd do if I were you is flush that brake fluid out, and replace it with some clean new fluid.

 

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll get to pick it up tomorrow. He's asking $2500.00 with 117k miles on it. It's not perfect, but I should get a lot of miles out of it..

Thanks again.
