on my 72 T/A looking down on the passenger side about 3'' forward away from the A frame mounted on the sub frame there is a metal clip with a rubber coating...does any one else have this and what is it for?...I am guessing here...does it have anything to do with securing the charcoal canister hose which is secured to a metal clip mounted on my front A/C compressor bracket?...as always help in this matter is always appreciated!!!

You need to get your camera working...........

you are correct sir..strangely though I hope to post it in your Engine Pics thread in the G.T.O./Judge section elsewhere in this forum...I will explain later

thankfully 2many, your predication came true..now can you please help me identify this clip on the sub frame....it is mounted on the passenger side, thanks!!!!!

over on the the outside... interesting..

I have never seen a clip installed there before. It does look factory. On a few rare occasions I have seen some small brackets or parts for Camaro and Chevrolet engine cars accidentally installed on Firebirds by assembly line workers.

I thought possibly to help secure the hose for the charcoal canister to the carb, but one clip is used for that already on the front of the A/C mounting and would be overkill....Dens71 makes sense if no one elses car has a clip there, it serves no purpose..but definitely factory installed..now I will take it out and see exactly how it mounts just a threaded hole?...I hope more take a look and speculate!! thanks!!!

This is on the exterior side of the subframe, only thing outboard is a brake hose really....my 2 cents/.
