Thread: just noticed somethin bad

I popped my hood this mornin just to check and make sure everything is cope and center.Checked for leaks, cracks and what not. But I noticed something that i feel may be a problem. That big grey bracket that holds the passenger side dogbone to the block is cracked on both sides on the lower parts. I can move it by hand with ease where it should be not movable. I havent really noticed any driveability symptoms but i imagine my engine may be moving a lil more then usual.Any ideas on what to do? I dont want my engine to all of a sudden start flopping under the hood one day lol

replace the bracket

Just get a L67 coil pack bracket...its cast iron. You won't have to worry about it breaking.

OR...

Get a HBody coil pack bracket...and get rid of the left dog bone all together.

I'd replace the bracket.

Since you want to top swap anyway just get the L67 coil bracket. youll have an extra pulley but it wont be in the way or anything.

Or just leave the pulley off like I did on my silver car.

Yea looks like i may have to take a trip to the junkyard and see whats up. hopefully i can find an L67 bracket. Is there any places that sell these brackets if all else fails?

General Motors

But they are going to want a lot.

Best bet is to get a used one. If all else fails, call Morads.
