Engine Intake Mount/bracket Location

[Window]

please forgive my ignorance, when i removed my original intake it had this mount but its been a few months since then and i forget where the damned thing belongs and of course i didnt catch it in any of my pictures i took while taking it apart. i went with an edelbrock 3821 performer intake so im not putting the stock manifold back on. anyone recognize this piece and know where its home is? do i need it for the edelbrock intake?

i think it belongs to the upper intake and im just getting ahead of myself.

you dont need it... it connects the upper and lower intakes together.

alright so its just for the stock intake setup then?

Yup. bolts from the lower to upper manifold on the stock setup. trash it

Never understood what it was for, I knew where it went but didn't replace it.

I've heard either ground strap, or anti theft bar. I don't think either is right, and haven't seen one on a fox in years.

I have no idea where mine is

 

[General karthief]

I know where mine is
In that garage
Someplace
Maybe
Lost forever
I'll go look first thing in the morning
Probably not

Mine is still on my car, when I had my intake off a while back I just put it back on. Couldn't tell you what the hell it was for though. What the hell is that thing there for????

 

[General karthief]

I looked through my book and it didn't refer to that part at all.

I always thought is was there for strength do to the design/weight of the plenum causing stress on where the upper and lower meet.
