Mine also sat high until I adjusted it by "massaging" where the pointer is using a calibrated knockometer....

Here is a side by side comparison between a '70 b body (on the left) and '66 (on the right). There are a few minor differences (holes) but I think they are basically the same due to 66-70 b bodies being the same platform. You can cut and section a piece in if need be, that's what I did on the...

Hello Wile E. Coyote, the two indentations on the firewall between the heater box nuts is where the canister mounts and the hoses route through where the indentation above the heater hoses are. I hope this helps. (At least that's how it was on my RR)

I have pretty much moved everything to the new place, so now the work can resume. I will update with the hood shenanigans when I work on it...
