74 Ignition Shielding Bracket Location

I am returning the ignition shielding on my 350 back to original. When I bought the car, the only shielding was located on the driver's side. I have purchased all of the parts for the shielding but don't know where the bracket for the passenger's side should be located. Can someone please provide me with a picture or information on which manifold bolt will hold the bracket?

Thanks for the help.

Here's my 75. Bracket mounts to very rear manifold bolt. It is the 12 point under the vacuum can.

Thank You for the picture. The position of the vacuum can also helps me to return the distributor back to factory location with the bracket on the last bolt.

Classic: purchase the assembly instruction manual (AIM) for your car. The AIM shows all of the ignition shielding and how it was installed and has a daigram of the factory indexing for the distributor.

AIMs are nice to have around.

Easy Mike: Thank You for the info. I have purchased the assembly manuel from Corvette Central. Is this the type of book that you are refering to or should I get an actual (AIM)?

That's the one. AIM is an acronym for Assembly Instruction Manual.
