Guys, I really appreciate your help.

Vinman, there is a pivot that the bracket fits over that is the thickness of the bracket, I cannot move the bracket far enough towards the firewall to clear that tit or whatever its correct term is.

By the way, the design of the bracket is total BS. The sensors are not sold as a matched pair, so they are obviously built to a tolerance so that if the bracket is set for one they are both properly clearanced. So, the bracket could be built to the proper height to clearance the sensors, rather than be made adjustable, then it could bolt straight down to the bellhousing and lift straight up. I am convinced that the design was to make positioning the sensors a daunting challenge for the backyard mechanic, and take more time (and thus create a higher charge) for the factory service department.
