did your truck have AC?

Thanks! That does help. I see where the top bolts too, but what about the bottom? I also see that I'll be running into an issue with the top right. The part that bolts onto the exhaust bolt. With headers on the bolt is closer to the engine.

Yea, she's an A/C gitl. But that last guy took the comp. off.

Top one goes into the head, lower inside bolt goes onto the front of the water pump, and the outer hooks to the bracket off the exhaust manifold. The lower one should be long slotted for adjustment along with the bracket on the outside. It pivots off the top bolt.

I can get you a pic a little later if that doesnt help.

I don't think your gonna get a pic of the one on the bottom. It's real hard to see. It goes on the bottom back side of the resevoir, it'll bolt toward the bottom of the block and should probably stretch to the other bracket on the header bolts. It's the skinny long one. It should be one of first parts of the accessories to go back on. The other stuff bolts right about were you would think. The one I just did was on an 82'--so I'm not sure they are exactly the same.

I think that one you're describing came on the 81 up trucks, and nobody reuses that bracket anyway cause it is so hard to get to, and isn't necessary for support. It's very rare to find one.
You could have saved the trouble of putting yours back on.

I would appreciate that. I'll be home in an hr and I'll see what I can get done. If you look at the part that bolts to the exhause, it sticks out a lot longer then it does with the header on. I don't think every thing will line up, keep your fingers crossed.

I know it'll be hard to get that shot, it's a bad angle.

Looks like your manifold bracket is different than mine. Here are a couple shots I was able to get hope they help.







Actually read it wrong, the other guy that posteds manifold bracket is a bit different than mine. Mine is a non-a/c model so that may be the difference. All I did when I added the headers is get a long grade 5 bolt and a steel spacer sleeve and trim it to fill in the gap with a washer on each end.
