Embarrassing question for the 3.8, 1 Chrome Nut left over, where does it go?
After putting back in place the plenum and valve cover, I am left with one single chrome nut and I can't figure out where it belongs

All valve cover and coil cover nuts are on, 12 + 1 intake throttle bodies nuts are on. I can't visually see any obvious one left out.

It took me a while to receive the parts and had a two-week vacation in the middle so it's been a while since I pulled the car apart. I think I remember pulling one chrome nut out which was somewhat hidden. I wonder whether I replaced it with a regular 10mm in the process or what...

Besides the valve cover and intake bodies, I see two chrome nuts that hold the cam position sensor and that's about it. I couldn't find any other location from realoem either.

Would anybody know where that mysterious nut location is? That's about the only thing preventing me from putting the car back on the road at this point!

Nice, yes it is! I used a regular 10mm for it. I'll go start up the car right now. Thank you!

The red arrow points to the wiring loom clamp.

That's is where I was thinking. Mine just has a plain nut on it and no loom. Thanks, I'll have to look into now.
