I put one on my 76, too. When you lift the hood, towards the front, you'll probably see a double piece of metal (towards the grille). Make sure that the big nut that holds the Leaper on goes just behind that (towards the cab of the car). That's the best place for it. Other than that, I just put it where I thought it looked good.
The pictures should be self-explanatory. If you look at the last three, you'll see the edge of metal under the hood I was talking about. I measured from the edge of the hood closest to the windshield to the edge of that piece of metal under the hood, then measured on top of the hood. Drilled my pilot hole, made sure it was where I wanted it (I got lucky on the first try...lol), then bored it out to be the proper size based on the template I got with my Leaper.

The first two pictures are prior to putting the Leaper on. The second two (I took tonight) are with the Leaper in place.
Notice, also (between the second and third pictures) the addition of the fog lamps.
Sexy, in my humble opinion. Have yet to get em working...lol.
