Need a picture of the correct clip that holds the starter wires on a 1969 Chevelle SS with a turbo 400. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Would it be different on an automatic car vs a 4 speed Chevelle? I've never had a '69 SS Chevelle with the automatic transmission and am curious to what is different.

My assumption is based on the starter heat shield ...the info I have seen, the 4 speed cars have the heat shield and the automatic cars did not. So I am making the assumption that the wire clip would be different. I believe there are 2 clips, one for the heat shield and on non heat shield cars. Any help greatly appreciated

I think the reason the 325hp automatic cars did not have the heat shield around the starter is because they had the sheet metal heat stove around the passenger side exhaust manifold. The heat stove acted as a form of heat shield and also provided heated air to the carburetor via a flexible duct to the air cleaner snorkel. I don't know if the 350hp and/or 375hp cars with automatic had any form of a heat shield for the starter or not. They both used the open element air cleaner and hence there was no practical means of providing heated air to the carburetor, making the heat stove unnecessary.
