Okay, so you have a cobra? Is it a Mustang or a kit car? What engine is in it?

Thanks for the reply. It is a Mustang Cobra SVT 4.6 4valve motor. Would appreciate instructions with pictures if possible to change the water pump and refill with coolant properly. I've been told the cooling system must be bled to get rid of air trapped in the system. A link to a manual could be very helpful. Thanks again. Notapromike
