Looks like a ground strap. Usually connects the hood to the body.

Not in the Cobra. This goes from the firewall to the rear of the engine somewhere below the driver-side valve cover. I cannot see exactly where it connects from looking into the engine bay from above.

Hmm, learn something new everyday! On my '03 Terminator it linked the hood (which was fiberglass??) to the body.

Agreed. The pic just made it easy to understand why the attachment point was too difficult to see from looking at the engine bay from above.

I could see the need, with all the radio equipment a SSP Fox body was probably equipped with back in the day.

Got any pics of your SSP? I'd love to see some! 8)

I have a thread in other vehicles, here is the link to it. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5618
If you click on the pictures it shows more in my photobucket account. I have been cleaning on it some and putting my touch's on it so I will get more pictures shortly of it.
