This is on the bottom of the power stearing pump i dont see them on all 3.0s do i need it or can i bypass them together? if i do need where does it plug into?

This is a mess and a pain in my A$$ but if you could send me good pics of your rigs or even explain how to plug this all in right, i have the hoses where i think they go i tried the manual no good picture!

She Runs Kinda!
Well i got it going this morning had a few little mishaps but t-got them taken care of i started out with a antifreeze leake but it was nothing major just the plastic cover over the thermostat forgot to tighten the bolts down, then i was 180 out on the destributer got that fixed
NOW it wont idle right, i sits at about 200rpms and barely moving and then adjusting the timeing doesnt help much, every once and a while it will idle up REAL high and i have to shut the truck off anyone herd of that? any ways i bled the breaks and the clutch so now all i have left is to figure this idle problem out and the timeing if you know anything or have any idea let me know thanks!!
Small sign of life!




Went to the junk yard to find me some parts! this is what i found. just like it sits! Someone took it all apart and didnt even take anything. nothing was missing!

well i did a little checking and got her to run better lol i didnt notice i had one of my plug wires disconnected! but i got it now! lol, after that i realized i was just trying to move to fast so i took me a step back and found one or 2 other little things. i pulled one of my vaccume lines and plugged it and it ran alot better but still idles low so im going to mess with the idle screw in the morning and do a little vaccume plugging! i also think the bad gas idea is a factor i thought about it and this truck has been sitting for almost 3 months and before that this motor had sat for 3 years and i never cleaned out the fuel lines or anything
so im going to get some premium and octane buster tomorrow and see if that helps theirs less then a 1/4 tank so i can get away without having to drain the tank! i also had some NASTY white stuff in my clutch mater cylinder when i bled it it was not pretty.. but i got it all out and the clutch and breaks work very well!! its all looking good and THANKS CYBERMAN!!! i appreciate the call today it helped me find out im an idiot and had the hose clamp in the way of the throttle so it was stuck open 3/4 of the way!! you know me always doing something stupid!!
anyways should have her running in the morning and ill let you all know how it goes WANT TO SAY THANK YOU again for all the help on here especially anthony and cyberman!!
If your ever in florida you'll have to give me a call i owe yall a beer!

im just north or Orlando! im about 10 min out from UCF area id say im 25 min north of down town. any time man i know a BUNCH of great wheeling places im sure they are a little different then what your used to florida is unique! its alot of MUD but some of its alot of fun. lol i think i have the longest build on here! just for the motor! haha. Im good like that
Ill see what i can do about getting some clean pics of this thing once i degrease the motor and wash it i bet this thing will look good out in the sun! im looking forward to seeing her all cleaned up it might have to wait till i get back to florida tho its freezing temp here id spray water on it and it would freeze before it ran off! lol
Thanks alot yall

Help Update
Ok NEW PROBLEMS!!Got it running better, started today off moving to a heated garage with a concrete floor! The truck backed up on the trailer and then drove off into the garage, then we realized we had a fuel leak found it under the top of the intake and fixed that then we had a vaccume line problem so we switched a wire or two and then capped off one or to, then we fixed the manifold leak i had, Then we took a timing gun to it and got timing set to where its supposed to be 10 degrees off top dead center, it idles right now at about 800rpms and starts right up PROBLEM IS
1. it doesn't build pressure in the radiator we took it for a quick up the street and back before we got to the end of the road the check engine light came on then we turned around and got back we realized that the top of the radiator was BURNING and the bottom was ice cold, so i went and got a new thermostat its a 180degree one now i let the thing run for 20min in the garage and it built up to half temp no engine light came on but it still didn't build hardly any pressure in the top hose. the heater in the truck works also. then i tried to drive it home which is only 2 miles down the road got 1/2 way there and engine light came on again. so when i got home i put it back in the garage and let it run for about another 20 min no engine light nothing no leaks ran fine, took it for a drive got about a mile down the road engine light again. I don't get it. and i don't know for sure i really didn't test the theory but it seems that the engine light likes to come on around 50mph. im not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Also timing seems dead on but it still sounds like i have a little miss it idles fine but if your listen real close you can here the tone change from time to time just for one hit tho. its kinda hard to explain
oh cant forget i shorted out my diagnostic box you know how you check your code from your check engine light and it flashes like its throwing a code but i don't know how to read what its saying, and that is with no check engine light on i dont know what that means exactly. if you can think of any ideas from this let me know ill post some more pics tomorrow
