1987 Quick question,where do exactly is exactly attached ?
i pulled it off like 10 months ago, i can't remember where my Tach filter was attached to ...block ? firewall ? head ? i can't remember !!!
I have the new one ready to go but i didn't want to bolt it to the back of the head since its aluminum might not be a good ground ..or maybe it will work but i would like to bolt it to its original location.
Thanks !!!

I am pretty sure it is held on by one of the top bell housing bolts. I purchased a used one but am waiting to install it when I do my manifold upgrade next week.

It was on the Driver Side upper bellhousing on my aluminum head '86.

Sammy, Mine was on the upper center bolt of the bellhousing like mentioned above. The new one I have now is a different design and just hangs free and is bolted to nothing at all...WW

Have had mine on last LH intake manifold bolt for years ( because I couldn't be bothered accessing the bellhousing bolt ) ; no problems

Mine is a hanger too. It doesn't really matter what it attaches to, or even that it is attached. The bracket only holds the filter in place. It is not a ground.

After the recent engine rebuild the installer neglected to install said filter and my tach readings were way off till I clipped a jumper wire between the mounting tab and an engine ground point.
