Wink 69 l78..

Very cool...thanks for posting. I noticed the bracket installed on the driver's side of the engine...pretty sure that is the part installed for the motor mount recall issue.

Great time capsule and neat race history...almost a twin to our old silver 69 car.

Yup, he said he put that in back in the day, to keep the engine in place in case of motor mount breakage.

Wilma,
Weren't the lift brackets not installed around the driver side manifold hooked up to the a arm shaft? If what you say is correct then what did they do for power steering cars?

You are correct the install was on the exhaust manifold...I have some photos somewhere and the original letter from GM about the recall...more to follow;'-wilma
