Identify this engine bracket? (1 Viewer)

[FloTheFJ60]

We are finally putting the intake, exhaust and carb side of the engine back together after about 2+ months and have this one bracket that we don’t remember where it goes..... Can anyone help on this one?

Here’s a few more pics.

Is it by chance the bracket that attaches to the exhaust downpipe down near the firewall?

Doesn't seem to be...

I don't think so.

Part of the smog rail stuff, maybe?

Edit: carb cooling fan?

There's a bracket that looks something like that that holds the PCV hose coming up out of the intake manifold- but I don't recall if it looks just like that

I'm not with my 60 right now and this is bugging me.

I'm thinking it might be the bracket that holds the temp sensor for the carb cooling fan. That's a wild guess though.

i just had a look at my truck which I have the intake and exhaust off of. I think the bracket that holds the temp sensor is smaller and pretty well attached to the hard line of the PCV pipe.

@OSS I feel like that bracket you are referring to might be it. I’ll take a look at the intake in the back of my truck.

Ok these are the two brackets mentioned so far. One is for pcv and the other the temp sensor.

Hi, yes all smog still in place. And dang it, I've got those 2 brackets already installed.

I am fully desmogged and I’m thinking that your bracket is part of that assembly that mounts to the drivers side inner fender which holds all the hoses and valves for the air pump system. I kept all that stuff but most of it is in storage. Maybe someone can snap a photo for you if their truck in that area.

Ever figure this out? I’m in the same boat. No idea where that goes.

It secures the power steering hardline, but tje clamp part is missing.

I thought this might be it, but my bracket looks different. Do you have a pic of where it goes?

Digging through all 1000+ pics, and I finally found it... Thanks @Spike Strip for pointing me in the right direction!

I don't think that support is really even needed unless you're constantly on roads where there's a lot of vibration. Probably there to reduced vibes on the high-side PS line and then possibly cracking.

I keep forgetting I want one, haha! Very hard to find one around that is complete.
