I pulled my engine recently to do some cleaning/maintenance and saw the AAV was floating there with no real place to anchor it down. Is this where it's supposed to be located? It's a '74 1.8. I see I had run a grounding wire off of it to one of the engine tin screws. It's been many years since I rebuilt the motor and I completely forget how I did this. Thanks

1975 1.8. Mine is held down with the bracket you're using for the ground wire. I suspect you did that years ago because there was no place on your engine tin to hold it down and ground it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I can try to get better pictures later if you need them.
I'm overdue for the same task you are taking on. You don't realize how grungy your engine bay is until you take a picture to post to a public forum... The rest of the car looks nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |

Ther AAV is secured by to screws to a bracket should that is bolted to the engine case via one bolt on the engine case between the air plenum and the oil filler tower. Super ironic that you post this today, I had to remove mine two days ago to investigate an air leak.

Thanks gents! Appreciate the input. I'll dig through my box of extra parts, I bet the bracket is in there.
