Is it the same hole as the "shaker base plate support" attaches in the front of the driver side cylinder head? Maybe it is relocated to the intake manifold on a shaker car? Can't find a single clear picture on the net.

THANKS Nicklas Made more sense that way since a foot bracket would have to be removed before a neg cable which could be just as easily disconnected at battery end. Those feet brackets were the first thing a mechanic tossed when having to work on an engine, carb ,etc, told to me by a mechanic from back in the day who said he couldn't stand the things sticking up and getting caught on sleeves, etc.

It wouldn't make sense for the negative battery cable to be between the head & SHAKER foot bracket, the lug on the cable end wouldn't sit flat/square & a good ground/tight fastener isn't going to happen. Do both bolt heads for the air cleaner base plate "L" brackets face forward?

Most feet I have seen were installed after the neg cable end and both with the flat side facing the engine, thus giving the cable a secure placing as well as the heater hose bracket on the other side. 8433072-shaker340.jpg (162 downloads)

This was my one foray into repro parts... It was an eye opener on getting the details right and getting the timing right - I missed on both counts. My hats off to the guys that get it right. 6bblgt - If you bought one of the wrong ones from me, let me know. I think I still have some correct RH ones left.
