Fuel filter

I have a 1968 327/300 with a/c and without a smog pump
Since the fuel filter bolts to the smog pump what would you mount it to without one

I have the same situation....mine is just held in place by the metal lines that are connected to it. It just kind of stays there.

cant you use the bracket below and attach it to the cylinder head with a bolt?

I tried that bracket. It won't reach any bolt and line up correctly.

I'm not sure how to say this with any 'political correctness' (not one of my strong suits, anyway)...

You are either a DIY type of person, or you're not. If you can't figure out how to adequately mount a fuel filter to your engine, you should take it to a mechanic to get that job done.
