    Can anyone tell me what the heck this part (the red metal part) is for? It's been on my car since I got it 24 years ago but I have no Idea what it does. It's been bolted to the aircleaner support and sticks back towards the carb. I've shown it next to one of the spark plug wire retainers. Do I need this thing?:confused:

    looks like something someone used to pull the motor...and they never took it out.

    Yeah I'm thinking it's something I don't need but I'm the only person to ever pull the motor out of this car and I didn't put this on. Besides it's pretty small. It's just been sitting on the intake loosely bolted to the aircleaner support. I can't see any use for it but If it's there to hook a spring to or something I might keep it.

    my guess its a hook someone used to pull or install the engine. ITS NOT STOCK
