Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield

[MatthewMcD]

I am diving into replacing my old heat damaged crumbling oil hoses that feed my remote oil filter. The PO (or PPO) crafted a "heat shield" out of a license plate. There are 4 bolts on the manifold. Does anyone have a picture or measurements for the OEM heat shield that belongs here? Does it use all 4 bolts? (This is a 1968-72ish F, I still cannot get a firm date as it appears to have been cobbled together.)

I am stuck at this point while I figure out the oil hose fittings and am working on a stuck Exhaust Heat Control Valve, so I thought I'd fab a heat shield to replace the license plate.

I am not clear on this. I figured it would be attached to the manifold, the way the license plate version is attached. That thread makes it look like the heat shield attaches to the Steering Box. If that is the case, what mounts to the 4 holes on the manifold?

Maybe the photos in this ad will make things clearer.

It appears that the 4 bolt holes on the intake manifold have nothing to do with the Heat Shield.

It took me awhile but if I'm correct this is what the 4 bolt holes are originally for.

OMG, they created a 4 bolt plate with three holes for the remote oil filter. That's crazy!
