Rod,
On the '70, the canister sits in a bracket that attaches to the right side
engine
mount. If you look carefully, you should have two studs in the upper holes in
the
engine mounting pad on the block. Both the bracket for the motor mount and the
canister bracket go on these two studs. The bottom holes receive bolts, as do
all
mounts on the later cars when the bracket was moved to the rad. support rod.
Good luck!
