Abstract: A valve selector rotary latch mechanism is provided having an improved locating clip (46, 47) for aligning a telescoping spring capsule subassembly (38, 40) relative to the position of a rotary acting blocker plate (41, 42) and a mounting bracket (36) which connects a solenoid actuator (31) through a linkage (43, 44) to the blocker plates. The locater clip is formed of a resilient spring steel and includes a folded-over horizontal portion (77, 78) which is connected by means of a flared eyelet (66) through the mounting bracket and a looped portion (88) which extends beyond the bracket with an end tap (90) thereof being in locking engagement with a notch (74, 76) formed in the side wall of the telescoping spring capsule subassembly. A locking tab (80) is formed on the end of the folded-over portion and extends into an opening in the bracket for preventing rotation of the clip as the valve selector is assembled to the engine cylinder head.
