Mine mounts behind the distributer, on homemade brackets attached to the back bolts of the intake manifold. I tried to mount it beside the engine but it interfered with the offshore engine mounts. I can post a pic tonight.

I've faced this before and the solution for me, was to trim the tiller arm and use custom billet bracket's to set it back a lil further.
