I think it's mine.
You and I have conversed a number of times in the garage pics.
It's currently 7th on the list under "Most liked" tab in garage photos.

yes, thaks very much - could not find it again to save my skin. Needed another peek at that throttle return spring bracket - I want to try that one on mine because it looks like it will work with the aftermarket manifold (I think). Worth a shot. Actually just happy to eyeball your beautiful car one more time!
I found this article last night, searching for kick down bracket information.
Discovered I have a few things to change to make my engine details more correct.
Not that it's a concourse restoration car, but little things are easy to change.

that is loaded with great information. thnx for posting it. A question on my block is the location where this spring bracket leg goes. On mine, the neg. cable is attached there with a bolt that goes well into the block - it's wet with oil when I remove it. Why it's that way instead of having a shallow bottom I do not know. So no way that bracket is going to work the same way for me.
I wonder if a bolt was broke off in the hole at some point, and previous owner drilled all the way through the head to remove it?
Should be a shallow threaded pocket to bolt a/c mounting bracket.
You could still get the right bracket, then just remove the front tab so it doesn't go in the threaded hole.

Or we could trade brackets?!
Have you looked at the big block A/C version of the throttle return spring bracket for 68?
Noticed it when I purchased correct one for a non A/C car, and it looks like maybe it would work since it doesn't have the tab in front.
Just a thought.
