While switching the engine side motor mounts from a bad engine to a replacement one of theses(pictured) came from behind the mount on each engine. Was the passenger side mount. The bolts for the mounts dont fit through hole and I cant find anything that I unbolted that these can go to. I personally pulled out my bad motor and the other motor i picked up from a guy. Just wondering what this is and where it goes before i finish mounting my engine. thank you!

 

Figured i should circle what i am talking about

Thing Circled?

 

Looks like a distributor hold-down clamp.

 

winner winner that's what it is ^^^^^^^^

 

thats what i was thinking, however i still have distributor mounted on engine and two of these off to the side. I will double check and see if i can get it to fit in there. Thanks for the quick replys.

 

Like said, its the distributor clamp. You only need one. And it must be used. If you already have one holding the distributor down, youre good to go.
