Default Mystery piece from engine removal
Removing engine from 77 and found this broke piece on floor during clean up. Is this a spacer that goes between torque converter and fly wheel. Dont have a clue where it came from.

Thats the left hand high speed muffler bearing. You're going to need a new one for sure, but, its always best to replace them in pairs!
