3.0si Injection loom picture

[BuzzBomb]

Can someone either take a picture or describe how the long plastic pipe/loom with the two clamps routes along the engine? Does it sit above the injectors, or is it hanging below the injector manifold?

Thetwo clamps surrounding the plastic 'loom' bolt down below two of the acorn head bolts holding down the valve cover.

You can see part of it in this picture:

Note, however, that my harness does not use the plastic pipe, it is a more conventional sheathed wire loom.

Thanks, I got it figured out. The piece of the puzzle that I was missing was the threaded spacer that is under the loom's clamp. It's not on the parts diagrams that I can find. Also those two points are finished with a conventional nut, not acorn because the threads are too long on the spacer stud and it bottoms out in the acorn. I luckily found one of the spacer studs in a handfull of "did these come from this car?" odd bits that was in the trunk. Now I just hope that they aren't NLA!

For posterity, the part is available from BMW. Item #3, PN 13651353339, as seen here:

Thanks Luis, I'll give the dealer a call. Crazy thing is, this part isn't shown as being part of the NA market cars, just Euro. I think the '76 models might have been a transitional car, in that some of the parts aren't represented in the NA parts diagrams. My airbox is a '77+ style box, that isn't in any part diagram that I can find either. Since I got the car from the original owner who wouldn't have changed it, I'm sure it is original to the car.
