I was putting the upper pipe onto the water pump. While doing this I bumped a small S-shaped "wire" looking piece on the pulley side of the engine up toward the intake with small washers on the end loose. I was wondering what the piece is and how to reattach it.

That looks like the rod for the intake runners(IMRC).There should be an electric motor and an arm on the intake manifold that it attaches to.You will need to go to Ford to get new retainer clips, those breaking is a common failure on those engines. Its a bad pic, but it is the only one I canfind
