Bracket mounting location question (1 Viewer)

[garfieldthecat]

I have these two brackets that I am unsure of their mounting location. I'm pretty sure that the top one is a PCV hose bracket that holds the PCV hose that runs from the side cover to the intake, I believe, but where on the intake or in the engine bay does the bracket bolt to? Does it go under the bolt at the rear of the carburetor insulator plate? Or somewhere else? The previous owner of my truck had a Weber carb, so alot the factory bracket placement was already missing when I started to bring my truck back to stock.

Does anyone know what the lower bracket is for and where it may go in the engine bay? Thanks for any help, and especially for any pictures that you may be able to post as to where these mount to.

yes top bracket supports PCV hose. Yes it uses a carb base nut.
Don't recall what the bottom bracket is for. Definitely not mission critical.

Thanks @OSS , by the "carb base nut" do you mean that it mounts under the rear bolt that attaches the carb insulator plate to the intake? Thank you for clarifying.

@garfieldthecat I don't have my 60 in front of me - but now I think that PCV hose holder bolts to a threaded hole on the intake manifold ---- Not under a carb base nut. The drawing shows that a separate bolt secures it.

Thank you. In looking at the top of my intake, I think it may be the rear insulator bolt. Not many threaded holes back there and one is already used by the ribbed vacuum connector for the AC and booster maybe.

Looks like the other mystery bracket holds the PS hose to the EGR valve. @OSS is correct. It looks to not be mission-critical.
