Having a heck of a time figuring out how this mounts back on the intake manifold studs. Anyone have a detailed picture or TM?

Basically, the hole at the bottom of your picture (the inwards-pointing one) belongs onto the third manifold bolt/stud from the rear of the engine, and the other hole (the one that points outwards) gets onto the fourth stud from the rear.

Here´s a pic taken from the left hand side. You see the outward-pointing end of the bracket :

Note on my pic the nut is already missing. I was about to take the manifold off.

Hope that helps.

That was exactly where I thought it should go. I gather the tolerances on this part are wide indeed. I had to take the die grinder to one bolt hole to give me enough clearance to engage the stud and start the bolt. The bend radius of the tabs is slightly off but they conformed to fit just fine.
