Thank you Ron for getting back to me on this. If it's not raining today I'm going to take another wack at this and I will take some pictures. Are you pointing out that the K75 mounts the holes are not straight Accross from each other? I notice that and attempted to align them straight along and parallel to both the engine and the ledge of the mounting surface. But I must admit you triggered in me the possible thought I have something wrong and I better take a new look and make sure I'm not missing something. I'm getting really good at jacking up the engine lol. Yes 1987. I must be in the correct engine bracket holes to be so close to being aligned. Yet as said above your words have triggered me to give a closer inspection if I'm not missing something.
