I had a look at my 70, and the bracket is identical to the one in my 73. 
What I noticed when looking at the 70's engine is that if this bracket 
would have been horizontal, it would most likely interfere with the 
linkage rod for the L/H carburettor. I didnt see this when looking at 
the 73, because I removed both the air filter and linkage before I took 
the pictures.

I dont know if you noticed it, but on both my cars, the rearmost threads 
were plugged by a little white plastic plug. These are the threads used 
for mounting the bigger FI bracket.

I had to look at my pictures again, but I do not know what this is for.
