Dave:
You are missing some parts! The M-6880-A-50 comes in a box with ALL the
necessary fittings to attach to the block, including a part that screws right
on the filter mount hole, the adapter, and the external "bolt" that holds the
filter to the adapter in the block. If you have a previous adapter in the
block, as used in short cartridge conversions, it must be replaced by the one
in the kit. O rings are also included.
Sounds like you got an incomplete set.
BTW: Do NOT forget to file/grind off the corner of the motor mount bracket
that points right at the filter. It can puncture the filter can if your
mounts are a little tires and the motor rocks on acceleration too much. This
is simple enough to do BEFORE you bolt in the adapter.
