Yes, '78 bird.
Here's an old pic before i redid i few things, but the pump bracket is the same. I just bent a piece of sheet steel and bolted it to the trunk floor. I wasnt crazy about drilling my trunk, but it happened anyway.
From the pix it looks like the pump hangs down a bunch, but when the car is flat on the ground and not on jackstands the bottom of the pump is just barely below the bottom of the tank. You cant see it from behind unless your head is on the ground right behind the car.
