Default Engine bracket finish.

Not often seen. I've looked for pictures, but they are usually hidden by the Ram Air pan. any insight of how these came finished? Thanks

The top bracket holds the vacuum lines and is zinc plated. It was installed on the intake prior to paint so the bottom portion where the bolts are should have overspray on it.

The lower long skinny bracket is a 67-68 bracket that retained the wires that run up the inside of the LH valve cover and retains the wires for the alternator, temperature sender (with gauges) or temp switch (without gauges), and the Idle stop solenoid. This bracket was not used on the 69 TA as it was replced by a plastic tube that held the wires. The tube is held in place by a special clip that is attached to the inside front LH valve cover bolt.

Could you PLEASE post some pictures of said brackets as installed. And the special clip? Every picture I find always has the Ram Air pan installed, thus obstructing the view. The GTO assy, manual shows friction tape in 2 locations to hold the vacuum lines in place. ANY & all pictures would be great. Thanks!!

Pictures....anyone. P_L_E_A_S_E. If I get a definite answer, the 1968 bracket will be up for grabs, if anyone is interested.

Here a picture of the special harness retaining bracket that goes under the front inner drivers side valve cover bolt. The harness has a plastic piece that snaps into the small hole. This one has been replated.
