One of the things in the parts Joe bought in Springfield was this bracket. We think it is some kind of A/C bracket. Anybody know any details about this piece?

What John said, Howard, but it is not a Studebaker-manufactured or furnished part.
Rather, it is typical of the compressor mount used by aftermarket air conditioner installers when fitting those compressors to 1960 and earlier Studebaker V8s for aftermarket air conditioning systems. Note that it will not work on 1961 and newer V8s because they don't have a 4-bolt water manifold outlet (i.e, thermostat) housing.BP
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
Ayn Rand: "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."
G. K. Chesterton: This triangle of truisms, of father, mother, and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.
