Default 1968 Vacuum Tank Placement

Can anyone provide a pic of how the vacuum tank (shown below) should be correctly mounted to the LF inner fender? Mine was disconnected when I bought the car and ziptied to the the master cylinder. Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you have the AIM? The screws for the tank are on the inside the fender skirt.

Thanks Mike. Yes, I do have the AIM and I will check that out. I did see two mounted bolts inside the fender skirt but it seemed like too big of a piece to be held by only those two small bolts. Is that all that there is or am I missing some?

On a '68, the size is roughly 10"x10"x4", which I believe is substantially larger than later years. I was able to locate where the holes were. The mounting hardware was missing. For anyone else searching for this, there are (6) 12-24x1/2" screws that are used to mount the tank.

I am pretty sure that all of the 68-72 vacuum tanks are the same size. They added an extra vacuum nipple in 1969 I think. Lou.
