Let's see how far I can push Jeremy. These are pictures from a working engine, not a cat's heating pad:

Clamps for lines 1-3 on a bracket attached to the top side of the manifold. There are two 3-line clamps and a 2-line clamp into the bracket with a rubber pad between the lines and bracket. The 2-line clamp is in the shadow of the crossover pipe in this view -



Individual 2-line clamps for lines 4 through 6 into individual brackets on the top side of the manifold. I don't think it matters whether the lines go through the top or bottom hoop. There's a rubber pad between the line and bracket -



Standalone 3-line clamp where lines 1-3 come around the forward end of the intake manifold -



Standalone 2-line clamp for lines 4 and 5 over the IP and a 2-line clamp into a bracket (with rubber pad) also for lines 4 and 5 attached to the underside of the manifold -



2-line clamp into a bracket (with rubber pad) for line 6 attached to the underside of the manifold. It looks like there's a standalone 3 line clamp over the ALDA for lines 4-6. I don't know if that's standard. I might have used an extra clamp from the cars gone by.



Here's the shopping list -



A final note - despite all the clamps, lines 2 and 3 sometimes come in contact where they bend forward towards their injectors. I cut a split into a length of common vacuum tubing and slipped it over one of the lines to prevent contact. I don't know if this car has that band-aid or a previos 603. It certainly wasn't Jeremy's cat's heating pad.
