Gary, Here's a pic. of a 1 owner, unrestored 65 I owned a few years back that might help.

Jim,

Thanks for the photo. I’ve zoomed in and brightened up the area for the right hand strap and I can’t quite tell if its loop includes the wire harness. But it sure looks like it does. Do you know if it does?

That again begs the question as to whether the wire harness was present on the production line when the first two straps were installed.

Gary,
Some pictures of my '67. I looked at both the '66 & '67 AIM, and I'm pretty sure they're the same. It judged fine. Hope these help.
Note: picture three at the wiper motor...there is a secondary "T" strap holding the washer hoses and dash harness.

The right hand strap did incorporate the wiring harness. Maybe 66's were different but I'm confident that this is how this 65 left the factory.

The T strap captures the hood release cable and the supply hose from the washer reservoir to the washer pump inlet. Just those two items. The strap does not capture the wiring harness, which you can just see in the background, heading downward between the master cylinder and the hood catch. Just an N of 1.

FWIW> My very very early 66 Coupe (#1224) does not have that bracket on the right in the picture. But
my very late 66 Convertible (#25117) does. Thanks>Larry P.S. I have also noticed on my many pictures
of C2's that some on the "T" strap tails have been cut off. Even on Top Flight/Bloomington Gold cars. Could
the factory have done this or on "Dealer Prep" on some cars??

The four on my 64 look like this.

This morning Mark Lincoln sent me this photo from a car (‘67?) that he believes has unmolested firewall items.

This image puts another nail in the coffin with the idea that the wire harness wasn’t present when T strap #1 was installed.

Not so sure, Gary. Note the "J" clip just behind the master cylinder. It's retaining the wiring harness...that's incorrect. The three "J" clips were only used to retain the hood opening cable that traversed the width of the car from driver's side to passenger's side. Harnesses were then hung from the hood opening cable with "'T" straps. Someone, early on, may have moved the hood opening cable from the "J" clip and inserted the wiring harness in its place. Either way, that first "T" strap is holding, both, the wiring harness and the windshield washer line to the hood opening cable.

I like the wire harness in the J clip above the M/C. Some judges don't. BTW not all cars have this J clip. quote=Alan Drake (43261);562288]From a 67 300hp April car - original owner says thinks that's all there ever were. An alarm was added in 67 but everything else should be untouched in the harness area.[/quote]

I'm sticking by the harness goes in the J clip above the master, and not all cars have this J clip.
