I know you said no booster, but it would go in the same spot either way.

From what I understand, yes, just like seat track nuts and heater box nuts.

Thanks when our car was done in about 1984, think they confused it with a GM. Everything in the engine bay was black, thought maybe that but might be black. Heater box nuts were cad.

I the bracket shown above in the correct orientation for a manual brake car as well? Seems that I have always seen that bracket bent downward when installed on a manual brake car.

If my memory serves me correctly, which isn't always the case these days, I believe there is a short and a long bracket for the wires at that location. Long with booster and possibly short without. I don't know, both of mine have boosters..

I thought short was for booster and long for manual brakes.

Pretty sure I bought the correct one for my car, I'll have to look at the Bird tomorrow to make sure they are both the same. I know the Bird's is OE.

did you have time to look?

I did actually. The repro on the Bee is just shy of 3" long and straightening out the Birds bent up thing, the most I dared so as not to crack it, it's about 2 7/8" long. Scoured through my parts manuals for '68,'69 and '70 and I can't find it referenced anywhere. I do remember reading "short and long" though when researching, I just don't remember proof positive which is which. In my mind a short one would make more sense on manual brakes, with no booster to get up and over, but I didn't design these things! LOL

how I was looking at it ,it just hung down. I did not realized it was to bend up. Now I see why the short would go with no booster.
