Trying to put back on my AC,I have the bottom bracket on where a stud screws into the last hole on the header, And has another hole that screws into the head on the front,on the corner hole of the head. Here are the other parts,I know the round bar is the brace for the top,and connects to the big piece and also the corner on the big piece is against the compressor with a bolt screwed in,just not sure about the small bracket,you could tell that on one end was broken off of something,but it was definitely broke.
That bracket your asking about is for the air pump. It attaches to the water pump and intake manifold bolts. I have the same AC compressor brackets also. You're going to need a sleeve to go over that first header stud to support the header flange against the head. Also a sleeve for the third header of bolt so you can install the support rod. You can find those sleeves on ebay. Here's a picture what I've done:
Thanks,I had forgot all about the air pump,and that was the first thing I removed,and the round bar brace,you have attached to the third header bolt,I know mine wasn’t like that before,I thought it was bolted to the intake.or am I wrong.I have one sleeve thick on the floor,I think it was for the first header bolt,but with the header tubing bigger,that sleeve was to thick to fit,that brass piece you see on it now,was just a piece I found to feel that gap,but will find something a little thinner,thanks again.
If you don’t mind could I see the top of the compressor at the long bracket,and the one big headed bolt,I think it was 7/8 wrench to remove it,that big bolt screws in the compressor itself correct.
It’s coming together slowly though,can’t wait to smell some smoke. Homemade bracket,it will do temporarily I think.kind of worried about the kick down cable.
77-81 used the same brackets and braces, 82 upper brace is different.
You will have to find the original #2 intake manifold stud bolt to use the upper brace you have.
A cut to length sleeve spacer for #1 exhaust bolt.
Your photo showing brackets, you are missing or not in photo the lower brace.
If you have a real hardware store (Maybe Big Box???) in your area you might find these type spacers for your header bolt problem.
These are exactly the same diameter as the all the other original spacers, example efe actuator bracket, compressor brackets etc.
Assorted widths just under 3/4" O.D. and a 13/32" hole.
Original exhaust compressor bracket bolt and different spacers.
They run about .75 ea and up.
