That's not the correct 455 HO Y-bracket: that is a standard 455 bracket. The HO verison has a cut out and folded over section that provides clearance for the passenger side heat riser tube that runs to the choke stove next to the divorced choke pull off.

Here is the correct 1971-72 bracket that you need:

I knew you your going to get me on that . My Trans Am did not have AC on it so when I bought the 76 TA for parts I remove all the AC stuff from it and will use on my Trans Am . I'm hoping that it will work because mine does not have the part that is bend over like the 72 , the red arrows part on your picture so maybe it will clear it

It should work, though the corrugated aluminum foil tube that connects the passenger side air cleaner thermactor to the choke stove on the bottom of the air cleaner snorkle will probaby need a little kink in it to clear that high portion of your bracket.

I would love to get all the proper brackets and everything else for the Trans Am but I don't even have the matching # motor,it's not even a 455 that I have it's only a 400 so I don't think it really matters for now . Maybe some day I'll track down the matching # motor. I talked to one ex owner and he thought it was the matching # motor that was in the car when he had it, but it wasn't because all the work he put in the motor matches what was done on the 400 motor I have.
