The pic didn't make it into the re-sent mail so I am guessing here. I have a=
 29D engine in Bluehealey and had a similar issue. There is a cast mounting p=
ad below the generator that is intended for a mechanical fuel pump. Although=
 the hole for the pump actuating arm doesn't exist the two mounting bolt hol=
es do! They are tapped as well.  I put button head Allen screws into the hol=
es with copper washers to seal them.

Let us know what you find.=20
