Still Need Help Identifying Where Pieces Go

[chrislohrcdm]

Hi all,

With your help I have put the brackets on that you sent me pictures of.  There are these two things left and then I am done.  Can anyone help?

Thank you!

The wire - is it not the three-way solenoid wire for the automatic transmission?

#1 looks like the brkt that holds the air pipe to the inlet manifold with a 'P' clip.
The pipe runs from under the manifold round the back of the engine to the little air filter on the inj. pump.

I can't be sure but the top picture looks like part of the bracket that holds the upper steel oil line coming from the oil filter that attaches to the block around tach connection area.

The picture would be missing the clip that wraps around the pipe and bolts on to the bracket.

wire  startermotor or alternator  to connectionstrip under rightfront engine?

I just happen to have the part that Naj is talking about on my dining room table along with half my engine.  The wife has not yelled at me yet😆😆😆

It does look closer to your pic because of the off angle bend.

The oil line bracket that I was taking about (also off my car) is a normal right angle bracket.

Chris,
The wiring in the middle photo has three different size ‘connecter’ rings. Those rings go to the electrical connecter under the LH side of the auto box. The other side of that little loom goes to the constant speed solinoid, kick dn switch, etc.
Look at the three different size wire connectors in the photo attached.

Thank you so much!

Quick question.  What is the auto box? 

Thank you!!!

We talk about the three-way solenoid on the automatic transmission. Auto box = automatic gear box.
