Air Cleaner Support Bolt Location?

[vtboy51]

I'm tyring to install an air cleaner support strap, does anyone have a pic of where it bolts to? Is it one of the manifold bolts??

Yes it is an exhaust manifold bolt, not sure exactly which one, I can take a look later when I get home if nobody chimes in before.

I think once it is attached to the breather its fairly evident witch one it goes to

The bracket Tom's is selling is not specific for a '68, so I need to do some "modification" to it, and this is why I wanted to be 100% where it bolted to before I started bending and twisting it. It might be obvious once I get it on there, but I was just trying to do some homework before the bracket arrives this week.

After re reading my post, it sounds a bit dismissive...not my intention.

Let me re post.

When I was faced with a similar situation I installed the bracket to the breather, and my decision was clear as to were it would go, with some mods.

To continue my story, I ended up going with headers and ended up making more mods. Good luck !

The oil bath on my '70 302 is fastened to exhaust manifold front bolt on second port from the front, pass. side. Sorry, don't have a pic.

Thought I would just share my findings in case others need the info in the future. Another user sent me the first picture showing the correct bolt location on the manifold, the other 2 pics are of my manifold. Since I'm missing the stud bolt, the PO must of removed it at some point.
On a side note, does anyone what the small bolt is that I've circled in yellow is coming off the manifold, it's really rusty and hard to make out what it was?

That is the stud for the heat riser tube up to your air cleaner.

My bronco seems to run fine without the tube in place, is this just an emission item? Or would I see some benefit by reconnecting it?

EDIT;
I've got the manual choke, is the tube only needed for Auto Choke carbs?
