Help! unknown part 1989 Corvette roadster

[Repligator]

I was replacing the fuel injectors and EGR valve 6 months ago when my project got postponed due to shoulder surgery. I finished it up last week, and it runs great. Problem is, I have this part left over, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is or where it goes. I can't find any openings or missed connections. Does anyone know what this thing is or where it belongs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

Looks like a mounting stud of some kind... maybe a rubber grommet gets pushed on the top or ??

I have something like than on the plastic engine shroud on my truck. Hmmm...

It looks like the stud that the enjector covers fastens onto.

Left side Plenum, 2nd runner top bolt from the rear....

It has the pin for mounting or a cable guide IIRC... Easy one to miss since all the other plenum/runner bolts are normal torx or hex, whatever you may have. I swapped all mine to allen and double nutted one longer bolt to replace this one.

Boomdriver:
Your description was right on the money! Hope I can someday repay the favor. I too replaced most of the Yorx with Allens. Thanks to the others that offered assisance as well. Can't tell you how good it feels have my a** back in the 'glass.
