Help Identifying this part?
Can anyone identify this and what it would have been on. As you can see from the pic, it is not a stamped steel plug wire stand.

Re: Help Identifying this part?
Do those parts belong together? Or is that Frankentein?

Yeah, that rod doesn't seem to belong attached to that bracket.

Re: Help Identifying this part?
Could be the muffler bearing shift lockout rod for the BB?

Re: Help Identifying this part?
Are you asking for info, or quizzing?
Almost looks more red than orange, so could be off a vintage Buick, or even an old International, as they both used similar paint at different times. No telling how old. I believe you believe it is not a made up part, but there is no telling what someone may have done with it over the years. Appears to be a stamped steel plug wire tower with an integrated arm for a carb return spring. Apparently bolted to an intake or exhaust manifold, most likely the intake. That part is easy. I have no idea why it would have the extra hole for the (apparent) linkage rod, or what that rod would have gone to. You could disassembe it and use a jeweler's lupe to inspect the hole that the rod goes through. If the hole was drilled, then someone made the part this way after production. If it was stamped, then... I really don't know. Just my .02.

Re: Help Identifying this part?
Looking at the part - i can not think why the rod would be on there....with a solid mounting on one end (where the rod is currently attached) , what would the other side be used for related to the top of the engine??

Re: Help Identifying this part?
Do the lower holes (the wider ones) line up with bigblock or smallblock intake manifold bolts?
Or neither ? Unless the rod attached to some type of bellcrank or lever I am at a loss and even then I would question it... maybe BIG TRUCK? C30 366?
