I had a thread on this old truck cause it died on me. Got her back running but I have some odd ball filter head on it and bought the correct one to install in it's place. The one I bought came with a bracket and a thin 1in bracket that 45's off the main bracket. I'll post a pic of it. I'm asking someone to show me where theirs is mounted so I don't have to go nuts looking where this goes. I don't even know if this is a correct bracket. The guy I bought it from said it came off a 1990 IDI. The head is correct, just not sure about the bracket. It's got 3 holes at the bottom in a "L" formation. Any help is appreciated.

Don’t have a picture on me, but the engine lift bracket that bolts to the intake manifold runner closest to alternator should have a captive nut that the little 45* end bolts to. The other end goes to the back of filter head to support it. You’re fine without it if you don’t have the lift ring with the captive nut
