Help me identify these clips.

Just got an 85 S last week and going through the engine bay I noticed these clips not connected to anything. I trying to find out if they aren't supposed to be connected to anything (S model, no options) or if the previous owner deleted stuff.

Brake reservior, fluid level sender?


I think this is where the P/S reservior would go if it were equipped.


This is off the carb. Also based on the pipe coming out of the exhaust manifold going nowhere, I assume EGR is deleted.


This is by the passenger side headlight.


These are under the windshield sprayer reservior (which I tossed due to it being cracked). Not sure where the other goes. Also what is this other reservior for, its not connected to anything?

The last resevoir that you speak of is the Cold Start Assist. Most of the time these are taken out due to the pump in the bottom not working.

My 82 S has some odd plugs here and there hanging about, and i'm the second owner, and i can assure you the car was never fooled with..

I have plugs near the front corners at the headlights too..

pic 1- that two pin connector is for the fluid level sensor in the brake fluid resivour.

pic 2- nothing bolts there. the p/s fluid resivour is accessory driven and is located underneath the a/c compressor.

pic 3- green connector is a check connector and is not used

pic 4- wire is obviously cut. that wire is for the power steering and is not used by your car. the brake fluid connector should be connected to a two pin with black with red stripe and a solid black with yellow markings.

pic 5- connectors for the washer pump

pic 6- can't see the wire colors but it could be for the side marker light. if its not in use for the marker light then its not used.

not every connector under the hood has to have something connected to it.
