I found the problem! There is no rear mounting bolt. The moss and victoria
calalogs only give a part number. Does anyone have any idea what size bolt
it is so that I can run to Home Depot and get one with making many trips?
thanks,
Joe

they were huge gnarly ovals, and tho the bolts were 'tight' the threaded
portion passing thru the brackets were worn down smooth from the shaking.
Then I pulled the one off my spare engine -- it was the same altho not as
bad, I got a new one from moss. I would guess it is common. Make sure the
bracket mounting bolts are on tight too, engine oil will leak out the holes
if they're not
