Finished my 390 build but these where leftover. I think the round one goes under the PS pump arm.

maybe not. Anyone know? top end somewhere i suppose.

5/16" thick x 1-3/8 diameter. 7/16 hole

The cut ones are 5/16 thick x 1-1/2" diameter. 9/16th hole.

Don't ring any bells with me.

5/16" is pretty thick for a washer, especially when it comes to engine parts.

Hello Paul,

Intake manifold?

He did say that the engine was finished, so that would mean that the Intake Manifold would be on?   It is on isn't it?

But, if the Intake Manifold isn't correctly clamped down, then these could be it, then there is one missing.

And mine did have some flat-sided washers.

The large ones are usually found at the bumpers. 9/16 is a large hole, too large for intake manifold.

Thanks for all the help. Intake is on.

I will have to look to see whats on my intake at lunch. I will return with my findings. The PS arm has a stack of new washers for now so I was thinking  that.

The blueish paint has me thinking engine but I do have the front bumper support bolts off and put temp square steel there to help tow it out of the garage.

OK the cut ones are 3/16" not 5/16"  thick sorry. The round one is slightly thicker about .20". Thanks for showing me at least where one cut one goes.
I made a washer on the Pass side for now out of some stock as you can see and am still trying to figure what goes under the PS pump arm.
I think the 9/16 hole round .20 washer goes with the head bolt and PS pump.

The washer with the cut part goes under the PS support arm. The part of the washer that has been cut of leaves you more space to remove and install the spark plug.
