I still say it's the Johnson rod from the turbo encabulator.

I am guessing part of a floor pan brace.

Is this a quiz?... Then my guess is part of the core support. One that has been stretched with a core support stretcher.

I happen to know that it is the glutimate from the differential. If you don't put it back correctly, and soon, you are running the risk of torque integral failure on your main bearing seal. I've seen it happen and it can twist your entire transmission into a pretzel.

It sort of looks like what a Cutlass has under the rear seat, on the floor, on the passenger side to protect the speaker wire and vacuum hose for the trunk release. Lay it on the rear floor and see if the screw holes line up...

Maybe we should post this in the Olds Trivia thread?

It looks like the cover under the trunk area that's in this pic.
