Identify the part, 69 camaro l78
 

Cant find it in the assembly manual, not sure if its suppose to have something else bolted to it, hoping you guys could tell me what it is and what attaches to it? The "L shaped bracket bolted to the last clamp on the brake line.

Where did the clutch return spring mount on a BB? That looks like someone added it for that. Small block frame mount would have a hole where yours doesnt

That is an "owner add on". As Bill said, probably for a clutch return spring. Originally, the spring went on a small bracket that bolted to the exhaust manifold. PM me your location.

Was that a common clutch "racers trick" to have an advantage?

Thanks for the responses, appreciate it!

Here's an example of the correct clutch return spring setup on a factory 1969 L78. The bracket mounts accordingly so the spring won't bind or interfere with the clutch bellcrank or "Z-Bar". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9800745700.jpg

That looks more like a factory bracket that the power steering hoses would go through.

Never mind. Looking at the wrong bracket!.

Re: Identify the part, 69 camaro l78
 

I bet that car had headers. When they have headers it is really hard to find a place for the return spring to attach to. Thats why somebody made the bracket

Re: Identify the part, 69 camaro l78
 

Can a spring positioned there still get around the header?
