Engine mount plate

[mbarjbar]

Hey Guys,

I dropped the crossmember on my 1970 Z and on one of the motor mounts, there was a metal plate between the engine mounting bracket and the engine mount itself. Only problem is; I don't remember which side it came from! I think it was on the left side, just not sure. Please help.

Mike B to the rescue again! And I thought I was going to be able to use my new found knowledge.

Damn, you could have just said, "right side, maybe...."

After looking through the past threads, it seemed that the spacer was from the passenger side. Not! When I reassembled the front suspension, I found that the sway bar contacted the large bracket for the air pump and A/C compressor.

Aha! In my case the spacer was from the left side. It tilts the engine enough to clear the sway bar by about 1/4". PITA to go back and switch it.
