Trying to figure where the starter cable solenoid bracket mounts for the engine mount of my 1970 351c? Does have the single twist bracket which actually flips the cable up and down rather that horizontal if it is mounted to the motor to insulator mount bolt. Any one have a picture or suggestion?
Looking for where the twisted clip with insulator on the starter cable bolts to the engine mount/block
ahhh... googled but didn't see exactly. I'm going to guess that one of the oil pan bolts anchors it. That's only a guess. I'm guessing you don't want guesses.

Searched for days and everything I read says uses bolt from motor mount insulator. Do not see how since it will invert the cable instead of run horizontal along oil pan. bracket has twist and rubber bushing.
i remember seeing a few fords back when i worked in the junk yard that had the starter cable clamp bolted to one of the oil pan bolts .. i know when i pulled the engine the cable would come up with it .. the oil pan bolt had a threaded end on both ends .. you pull the nut off that holds the cable in place then you pulled the bolt out to remove the pan .. how big is the hole in the cable clamp ? .. if it is around 1/4 inch i would say it bolts to the pan as described .. if the hole is 3/8 or so it must bolt to the engine frame mounting bracket ...
this is not a 351 C but it does show this clamp seeming to bolt to the block ..not the one with the words .. as i said in the other post the size of the hole will help determine the mounting locale .. someone with an original car will see this eventually and settle this ..
