The 8BA's use an offset bracket that bolts to the front of the manifold, similar to a stock generator. You cannot use the bracket that mounts to the head because of the location of the thermostat housings. 8BA brackets are currently available from Speedway Motors. I believe they are made by Offenhauser. They are also available on the used market, I placed a "Wanted" ad for one on the "H.A.M.B." and had two offers in the next 12 hours. I would suggest trying to find a used bracket, as I believe the Speedway units are overpriced.
