Hey everyone I'm new. Great to have resource like this to help a guy out when in a jam. I have recently purchased a 66 coupe with a 289 for a complete restore.

My situation is this my brother in law came to visit (out of town) and wanted to help out while I was working on other stuff and dismantled my 289. I am assembling the engine now and found a piece In my bolts bucket that I don't know where it goes. PLEASE HELP. I'm thinking it fell in and doesn't belong.

I don't recognize it. Looks to be some sort of retaining clip?

I couldn't find any place for it so I'm guessing it got tossed in by mistake. Any other helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Definitely a retaining clip but not engine related that I can think of.
