You can expand the bracket with the long screw but then the two mounting holes won't line up with the mounting bolts on the pushrod cover. Is the bracket supposed to be offset and use only one mounting hole? If so, why did GM make the brackets with two mounting ears?
I also reamed out the oblong holes on each ear but when the bolts go into the engine, the bracket is stilk too tight for the coil.
I have several Delco Remy coils from the 1950s and they're all the same size and the mounting brackets are identical to each other.
How is the coil supposed to be mounted on a 1950 1/2 ton truck? Were original Chevrolet coils skinnier?
