There ya go Chris... you have Griff's blessing on the Doorman's.
BTW... I don't change them all the time. I had one break back when I first bought the RV, replaced them all. Had one of those break on our way home from Florida this past Christmas. Fortunately we had just pulled into a rest stop for the night and were looking for a level spot for the night. When I replaced them... I figured THERE is a part I should carry spares for... so... we were covered.

Just FYI, according to this graphic the case is ground.
I am still evaluating all options...
Sorry, I was extremely busy (cleaning the chimney and doing other things outside).
Thank you. Obviously I was wrong. I've added the ICM to the list of things I run dedicated ground wires to.
I use one or more busbars, similar to this, to distribute dedicated ground wires to components throughout whatever vehicle I'm rehabilitating/restoring/improving.
I run a heavy wire/cable (8 gauge or heavier) from the studs on the end to the battery's negative post. In turn, I use 10 gauge wire to carry the dedicated ground to individual components.
If I'm using a tree-like dedicated ground distribution system, I use 8 gauge or heavier wires to carry ground from the main ground busbar to other ground busbars.
A dedicate ground distribution system, like I've described, is more reliable than the chassis (common) ground system used on most motor vehicles.
I don't like the screws used to mount the ICM and connect it to ground. (Screws into sheet metal are too easy to strip out ... creating an iffy ground.) I'd prefer a nut, bolt, and lock washer to make sure the ground connection is tight.

I am using the Dorman's bushings too. And I second Eyeteeth's suggestion to keep a set as spares in the vehicle.

Thank you all!
I'll order this bushings at Rockauto. My favorite online retailer, because i pay only 1x for shipping and can order a lot of parts for my Dodge.

Today i couldn't start the engine :-( Big frustration. After connecting booster cable the engine started but the idle speed is low and the engine is very difficulty starting (cold and warm).
The carburator is leaking, so i have to change gaskets. Could you tell me the model of my carburetor? Sorry for no better photos, but I had no instruments for dismounting the air filter housing.

Eric, you have a Carter Thermoquad 9207s.
TreeSeeker... I thought I just copy and pasted a link to the Summit Racing Part?

Eric, Should be the same rebuild kit I just purchased.

I will see if I can find the tuning guide again. Note... it is more bending metal rods than anything else.
