I think I see it now, in this photo:



I will look on my car again to see if it is there. If not, I'll have to order one.

Thanks!

Looks like were typing at the same time.

Passenger side, second lower valve cover bolt. The bracket it mounted there in this photo.

Looks that way! But you got me there, despite me being slow and easily confused!

Edited to add: Yes, it would appear I am missing that part. There is a little plastic piece holding the front two wires together, but no the part pictured. I will have to order one!

Now about that hi speed fan relay! I just tested mine a few days ago. Had to change a couple of spade lugs.

What did you do to test it? Mine seems to have an extra spade on the ground side. It also looks crusty and old. Willcox gave me the Borg Warner part number, so I think I am going to see if one of the local parts stores is open today and pick one up.
