We can help you with that. One should be for the intake tubing and the other should be for the oil dipstick. I'll have to look when I get to the house

The studs should go into the valve cover and then the bracket, then the nut to hold the bracket on, IIRC.

If you can get a picture of where on the valve cover they go when you get a chance that would be awesome. I've scoured the manual and found nothing!

I don't have access to an OBS at the moment. I believe on the dipstick side, it's the 2nd and 3rd bolt on the out side passenger side going front to back. The other one is on the driver's side top 2nd and 3rd bolt going front to back. Surely someone can chime in with a photo. Lemme look and see if I have one in my photos from a few months ago. If so, I'll post it up. Sucks I can't remember off the top of my head as much as I worked on them this year LOL.....case of CRS

@Jarrett Campbell or @z31freakify could post up something

I read your whole thread and looked at your pictures! Awesome work! I saw the one with the air intake support, but the other metal brackets I have I didnt see anywhere

I dont have your number, but if you could take a picture of each valve cover that would be good. Trying to figure out where the studs go in relation to the bolts, and where these 3 brackets go

The left bracket is for your oil dipstick on the lower passenger side valve cover, it is missing the 10mm bolt and the clip that holds the pipe. The center piece is a protector that goes on the rear of the driver side valve cover (not needed). The right side piece goes on the driver valve cover in front of the 'dog house' it doesn't get used with a 6637 airfliter. The brackets are really only able to go in one position. It is raining and cold (no shop, its on the Christmas list again, she said maybe 6x8....) so I am not getting photos.

I will PM it to you, I had to deal with PILES of missing stuff from my truck. Guys here helped me find it all, I will pass along the good faith.

Run a compression test while the thing is that disassembled. Jarrett has a great kit that goes in the GP holes. You will need them out to spin the motor over anyway to get all the crap out of the cylinders so you do not hydrolock it upon restart, plus makes repriming the HPO system super easy as the starter is not fighting compression.

May pester you to measure the location of the OE center trio of lamps for me.

PS, I am jealous of your Alcoas.
