<x-flowed>Daniel, I am also forwarding this to the list for everyone to see.

Everyone, I got lost on this thread, so I had to ask Daniel what he 
really needed answered, because it looks like most of you only know the 
FI engines, and it just adds to the confusion. I have, as you probably 
know, nothing but carburetted engines, just like Daniel, so I had to ask 
what the problem was, so I could help out a bit.

The carburetted engines doesnt even have this holder bracket, I believe 
it is for FI models only. The carbed engine has a much smaller holder, 
where it uses one of the black dual wire clips and also a smaller white 
single wire clip for the coil wire. There is of course no interference 
problems with the carburettor here, as the holder for the spark plug 
wires is a lot smaller than the one for the FI models. The black plastic 
dual wire holder clip is also used on the fan housing on the Beetles, 
for the same purpose.

So, as you can see from these pictures, the two spark plug wires are 
held in the black plastic clip. The coil wire is held in the white clip. 
The vacuum hose from the left carburettor to the distributor is just 
lying under the bracket, to stay in place. The fuel hose to the T for 
both carbs is held under the metal tab in the cooling tin, on top of the 
oil cooler. There are also several of the white single clips on the 
lower parts of the upper tins, to hold the spark plug wires near the 
spark plugs.

These pictures here are from my 73. I believe my 70 has the exact same 
setup, but I havent checked that one.
