Default spark plug supports




I am in the process of replacing all of the missing spark plug wire shielding. Going to get the car running and then I am planning on removing the intake manifold for painting and resealing. Not sure if the upper grommet bracket is bolted to the correct bolt on the intake manifold. It appears that the supports go on the last bolt on the intake but it is hard to make out in the AIM illustrations. The brackets got mixed up when I painted them. Does this look correct and do I have the right side on the right side?

Here is a picture of my ‘77 before I pulled the original motor. Hope this helps. If you need more pictures I’ll have to go out in the barn and snap a few more for ya.

That's pretty good. Looks like I have the right side correct. If you have a chance a few more pictures would be great.
Thanks

Thank you. I'll take a look at the right side next to last bolt. It appears that if I use the last bolt on the left and the second to last on the right the brackets will line up across from each other.

Maybe thus one will help you. You are correct - 2nd to rear bolt on PS and rear bolt on DS.
