Default Starter Brace '79

Does anyone have a picture of how this brace is supposed to be mounted? I found it in the glove box. The good news is, we have fixed the ac and the horn - thanks for all your help!

On your starter, the top bolt on the starter (face of the starter below solenoid mounting point-towards front of car) should stick out with a threaded stud. The brace attaches there and the other end bolts to the side of the block. Once you are down there with the brace it's a no brainer. You will probably need the block bolt and the nut and washer for the starter side. GOOD LUCK................

Should look like this:
