It looks like the one on the r.h. side for the ft. 2 cyls. it also dosen't use the ft. holder on the valve cover. there is a poor picture in the assembly manual

Spark plug wire holder. On ALL 70 SSs and LS5s with Factory A/C, A spark plug wire holder is mounted on the valve cover it is on the third bolt from the front. This is done to keep the wire from going behind the compressor ,Then if you would adjust the comp. you could squash the wire or short it out. These little wire brackets on LS5s were chrome and are availible . Cars not equipped with chrome trim under hood had the same type bracket, painted orange. My show car LS5 has the chrome brackets, My driver LS5 has the orange painted ones and both types have the rubber moulded insulation. I saw a Blue Vell at C. Creek on sunday. Could this be the car? I was driving a Red SS 454 Sta. Wgn. Bob ACES 2825
P.S. When all items in place the metal tab on left valve will be, just sitting in place nothing attached to it.
