Default intake help please

im putting a ls6 intake on my 2000 T.A. and i cant remember which side this bracket goes...the bracket has 2 intake manifold bolts going through it and has a sensor hooked on it and the wire from the sensor runs under the intake...can anyone tell me which side the bracket goes on and if it goes on the front or backside of the intake?

Thanks

The only wires that go undet the intake are the knock sensor wires and they do not connect to a bracket on the manifold.

Might be the black bracket on the back of the drivers side head??? the one that bolts to the back inside of the head with a 15MM bolt and also bolted to the valve cover???

no, the bracket has a sensor connector on it and the wiring to it runs under the intake to the 2 circle plugs and it is held in place by 2 intake mani bolts...

No I think that is the EVAP sensor on the bracket thingy and it plugs into a different connector not the knock sensor cable, which are the only wires that are under the intake.

The bracket mounts on the right back side of the mani when looking at it from the front.

It's the knock sensor bracket.
It goes on the drivers side.

Taken from LS1Howto 3rd to last picture caption.

Reconnect the rear sensor, as well as the small vacuum line, and snake the big brake booster line back into place and reconnect it.
