Need some help from the 78-80 Guys

[classic gbody]

Hey guys. I am doing a 403 engine swap on my 79 Calais and need some help with something simple. For the life of me I can't figure out how the little composite tube mounts to the back of the head where the starter wires and battery cable feed through. Also where the wire harness loom bracket mounts to either the back of the head or to the bell housing.

What I am looking for is someone with a 78-80 Cutlass with a 260 or 350(Hurst/442) and need them to take detailed pics and show me how these parts mount and how the wire harness feeds. I knew I should have paid more attention when I pulled the 260.

I appreciate the help! 8)

You don't have to get a pic of the actual bolt but can you take a pic of the harness bracket and the tube itself? Thanks for the help.

Would pics from a 76 Cutlass with a 260 help you at all?

 

[classic gbody]

It wouldn't hurt but noticed you have 2 80 Cutlass's. How about one of those? Does either have a 260 untouched?
