351W pics and Questions. DUW

[gbeals]

Let me first state - Yes I will be picking up a haynes manual today.. But the messageboards have been very helpful in the past, so I figured I'd post my troubles... Questions after pics.



Pic#1 - What is this wire and should this be cut as it is?

Pic#2 - Pic of front spring... Why are those 2 seperators in the spring?

Pic#3 - Shouldnt this be plugged? or does something go there?

Pic#4 - What is this called? It needs to be replaced.

Pic#5 - This was a hose that I found just sitting on top of the engine. Any guesses to where or what this is too?

Thanks for any help in my large learning curve.
