    Where does this part go? Fuel sys, bracket

    Im an idiot, I took things apart to clean injectors, mani, tb, etc and didn't take pictures before hand. Now months later on reassembly I cannot figure out where this piece connects to. I've looked and looked. Its on the fuel diagram part 18. It's got wear marks around the bolt/stud hole that would seem it was fastened without a washer. Car's an 88 ix and I took it off so whatever it was connected to should still be there. I hate to guess and just stick it some place.
    If it matters my car has the fuel rail with the inlet on the firewall side and the return out near the thermostat.

    Somebody knows where this goes.
    I've gone through all the engine bay thread pictures, nadda.
    Come on, school me.

      bump. My OCD won't let me run the fuel hose just any ol way. I'm pretty sure this was on the front portion of the engine bay. Maybe on one of the lower thermostat studs?

        You tore your engine apart without taking pictures and all you have left is one clip? I'm impressed. If I don't log everything that comes off I wind up with a mountain of hardware that I'm sure is important. To me it looks like it mounts off another bracket somewhere like a dipstick tube or something along those lines.

          it goes under the intake manifold. there's a metal rail that holds some of the wires and fuel lines against the block, it bolts to that.
