Default Did this part fall off my car?

I found this hard rubber piece under my car in the garage. Any idea what it is?

I bet you've been working around your radiator shroud. If I don't miss my guess, that is a spacer that goes under there. That's what I recall anyway.

That's what it is Jim I only found one on mine. It goes under the shroud passenger side.

It clips under there to keep the A/C pipe from hitting the plastic shroud.

... This is one that you'll search for and not find without this help.

Strange but it does clip where the A/C pipe goes.

Default How to confuse a Vette owner:

Throw some obscure part under his Vette & watch him go mad trying to figure out where it goes........

You see it from the top.

It is actually easy to figure out if you see it in place on another vette. Follow the A/C line and you'll see it on the edge of the radiator shroud.
