Default Ignition module clash with Engine Mount

Hi all,

What am I doing wrong? I am at step 3 on Page 46-08/Rev 3. When I move the ignition module and manifold back into position the base of the ignition module hits the engine mount. See the image below: Do others have this problem? I have tried a search and nothing pertinent turned up. I will try vans too:

Overall Area for context:


Detail of problem area:

You are missing a part.

There is a spacer bushing the belongs between the rubber isolator and the lower angle bracket.
It is about 1/4 tall and usually silver in color (made of aluminum).

Ahhh, That would answer the question i would probably have in a days or two. "What's this left over spacer?".

Thanks for the response and sorry to bother everyone.
