Over the winter I replaced my Getrag transmission, and took the opportunity to do some cleaning up. These two parts, one clearly a plug wire support, were mounted on the heads where they had no functionality at all. I'm assuming that someone once pulled the heads off, and did not get these brackets/supports back where they belong. Anyone know exactly where they should go?

The top one is bolted to the trunk-side head. Right on the corner, I think. Helps to guide the wires around the corner of the engine.

The bottom one is bolted to the firewall-side head, above the trans. It's used to guide the shift cable around the engine, and keeps it off the manifold.

That's very helpful, thanks. There already is a plug wire support on the trunk side - I'm wondering if this was then a spare.?

The other one now makes a lot of sense when bolted to the slave cylinder bracket on the tranny - no idea why it was on the head - many thanks!

The wire holder might go on the firewall side, unless it's just a spare, as you said.
It's been a long time since I looked that closely at a V6 in a Fiero, so I don't remember exactly.

When installed, the top one is a little difficult to see. Look at the #6 intake runner. There are two chrome bolts at the left side of the runner. There's a cable bracket bolted to the one closest to you and to the neck of the intake. The bracket you picture goes underneath that and helps to hold the wires as they pass down between the neck of the intake and the cable. It's missing in this photo, but that's where it goes. I don't know where the other one mounts, but it looks like some that are on the deck hinge bases.

I'll look around closer to where you are indicating it goes - makes sense - many thanks!

Here's a closer look at the one on my 87. You can see it underneath the big bracket.

Bingo - problem solved - many thanks for the help everyone!

i found this pic of the lower bracket picture that you have.. It's located on the right side of the head (near the spark plug wires) firewall side..




The other bracket (top picture that you posted) I thought went near the a/c bracket (towards the middle of the valve cover) - engine lift mount... to help avoid the wires to touch the manifold, firewall side..... but the throttle body area to help guide the wires thru makes sense too..
