On my 73 454 there is no bracket.
One hose goes through the PVC and the other is taped to it on both sides of the PVC.
I bought mine 9,600 miles.

There is a metal pipe welded to a stand. One end of the metal pipe goes to a short rubber hose that connects to the big vacuum port at the front of the base plate on the carb. The other end attaches to the bigger if the two rubber hoses you reference. It looks to connect just over the edge of the valve cover. If I can't find one I may make a batch of them.

I see what you are saying. Mine looks like page 329, two hoses with a black zip tie holding them together.
Here is a pic, with a pipe and your mount.



I do not know what or when they put the pipe on or for.
Hope this helps.

Awesome, I am trying to recreate the hose set up, this picture is great. Can you take a closer shot of the front corner of the carb near the choke pull off, hard to see which hose is where. Thank you very much !

Not my engine, I have the two hose connection.
This is an internet pic of a 73 NCRS engine.
It is only 300kb, but if you copy and paste in an editing program, you can get a closer look.
Hope this helps.
