Hi Scott,

The bracket isn't quite the way I said it was.  Here is a sketch.  I
would have taken a picture, but I can't find my camera.

The two tabs sticking out the front hold the coil, one on each side.
There is one bracket in front of the oil fill tube, and one behind it.
I'm using the D580 coil.  The top of the bracket is 3 1/4" wide by
2 3/4" deep.  The sides were turned up to provide stiffness.  The tabs
coming out the front are 2 1/4" apart.  On the top of the engine, there
are 4 posts sticking up.  Each one is threaded.  The holes in the top
of the bracket bolt the bracket to those posts.  That puts the bracket
above the actual engine block by 3/4" or so.  (Or is that 20 mm or so.)

Does this help explain it better?

Bob W.
