Always hard to see and compare from one angle

Might be better described as one was a hex head screw with intergrated washer and one without the intergrated washer design

The specified screw for 69-70 was 55981-S2, 14-14X1/2HH,REC,FLNG 1/2,3/8HEX,TPG. It had a flange, not a lock or flat washer. For 67 and 68, a separate flat washer was used. That's as specified. As the third picture show a different type of clip, who knows what fell into the outstretched hand of the assembly line worker (before or after lunch) for use.

Jim, I'v found what I thought was the best explanation in the 67 chassis assembly manual on the max vacuum diagram. I could be wrong but for 67 it seems that hoses except A/C lines were not mounted to the shock tower braces like its more commonly seen on 68 models so routing the tilt vacuum lines to the periphery of the engine bay and on the J clip seemed to work. I tried to leave extra hose for "adjustments".

Guess that is not what I'm finding on unrestored cars - just reporting. 67 San Jose for example

Think you mean to say 67 AC hard lines were not attached to the shock tower braces since 68 non-AC hard lines weren't run through the firewall clip being discussed either. Or I'm just reading you response incorrectly
Vacuum lines were run across the upper firewall to the clip discussed for thos years
