> On the pipe that heads from the block back to the pressure tank, there is what would appear to be a support bracket, about 5-6" long.   It appears in the drawing in the parts book....and is listed as something that started in 74 according to the part number.

> Is this supposed to go to a valve cover bolt or to a header bolt?    If the latter, did they use a double sided stud as used in so many Ford exhaust manifolds over the years?
> While the pipe is light, the bracket appears to be rather substantial, and I don't like the idea of this weight just hanging there acting like something that is going to bounce around & influence the molecules  in the pipe section to part with each other......and let the fresh coolant out......
