Default What's this part?

And is it important? Just pulled the PCV valve. Wasn't even in. Found a rod back there about 6 in long 3/8 in dia. , mounting hole on each end. Lower end attached to manifold I think and loose. Upper sitting free attached to nothing. What is this? Can't find it in the Chilton book.

It's a support brace for the manifold. Take it off and toss it. Dumbest place for it too. Wasn't 1 of fords better ideas!![&:]
