What kind of camera are you using?? And the approx price, please.

The square black thing is bolted to the outboard bolt on the clutch slave cylinder. Some type of capacitor that ties in with the oil pressure sensor. Not required for flight.

If the last two pic are or the same connector.....got me. The second to last looked like the single bullet connector that would go to the electric fan thermo switch which your car does not have, and would just lie about if that was the case. But if the last pic is the same connector....got me. Unless its the plug that goes to the back of the alternator. Nah, now that I look harder, if its a four socket connector, it probably goes to one of the solenoids on the acv. I can't tell from the pic.

The item in the 1st two pictures gets bolted between the bellhousing and the clutch release cylinder. From what I am told it is a noise supression thing for the radio.

The 3rd and 4th pictures I think is just there. I think it is one of the diagnostic connectors.

THe 3rd and 4th picture show a clip that is not connected to anything on both my 7's. It must not be that important.

The first 2 pics show a thingy that should get connected to the bellhousing. I think it just "needs" to be grounded.

Minolta Dimage X

Was 400 when I bought a little less than a year ago. Think the price is around 300 now. BADASS little camera. Very small and it takes good pics.

The first one IS A CONDENSER (capacitor) FOR THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE UNIT. See you manual. It IS to be grounded. When it came out of the factory it was connected to one of the bolts for the clutch slave cylinder. The slave cylinder being located just inboard and aft of the oil filter. It might be easier to bolt it somewhere else, perhaps.

That said, the oil pressure gauge will work without it being connected to a ground or the wire snipped.

Yes, the camera does take good pictures. I'm thinking about getting one. Thank you.

By the way, the wire going to the condenser(at least on a 87) is colored yellow/red and should be the same as the wire coming off the oil pressure sending unit.

If you give us the color of the wires on the other unknown sensor, and the number of wires, we can figure out what it was meant for in life. Also how many sockets on the plug?

Hailers is exactly correct on the first one, the second one is for the coolant sensor, for the electric supplimental fan.

Since your car is not equipped with that fan, the sensor would not be there.

The sensor would mount in the hole in neck of the thermostat. You have a great veiw of the hole in this picture:

Dang.. you guys beat me to it. Yes, I was told that that needs to be bolted on. (The first pic - oil guage wire).

I asked once why my oil guage reads low and was told to see if that wire was connected. Guess what, not connected. I still have to go find it so I can connect it.

Looks like you dont have the connector for the other one, so no worries. As mentioned, its for your electric condensor fan. You must not have it.

** HEY, can you tell me where that black ground wire comes out of so I can find it easier on my car ?? I cant see it from the top. I guess I have to go jack up my car. Must be hanging around under there somewhere. **

I have a spare TII throttle body. I will go see what size the bolt is that holds it on and edit my response.

Yeah, any 10mm bolt on the tranny or engine will work
