Our survivor 70 L78 4spd car had a small 'loop' welded to the header tube for the return spring...pretty neat idea.

It could have been as simple as being part of a power steering hose bracket someone fashioned to hold them away from a set of headers.
This is mine. I could see someone throwing that on there at some point.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: camaro1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">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 &quot;L shaped bracket bolted to the last clamp on the brake line.



thanks Rich </div></div>

That &quot;L&quot; shaped home made bracket is the clutch spring attach point for a car with headers, did the exact same thing on my 69 Camaro L78 car when I installed the headers. And what you can not see in my picture is the piano wire extension rod I made and bent up to clear the header tube, the rod is much like what you see on a stock SBC application.

Here is a pic of the tab I welded to the header tube for the clutch fork spring. This was on my 72 RS/SS BBC Camaro -- headers have been hanging on the wall ... pretty dirty. TAZ
