It does have a small backwards type L bracket at the top hole, I just took mine off today. It wouldnd't be hard to fab one up.

Just a FYI I can't find one of these as NOS. I tried a few months ago to locate one (because I'm crazy and want a brand new one) and no dealer has one in stock. None of the Ford parts houses do either. They are hard to find used as well. If you break one you're pretty much SOL:mullet:.

I picked up the bracket you need a couple of days ago. Let me know if you are still looking for one.

No, I'm not going to be able to make the last run. I will be in Wichita the last weekend of Sept for the air show, the weekend of the October 5th, and the weekend of the 27th. I can meet up with you one of those weekends if you want or I can just mail it to you. Do you still happen to have that extra E6 manifold you had for sale a couple weeks back?

Don't worry about it. The junkyard guy let me have the bracket for free. PM me your address and I will send it to you.
