I do have the filter under and to the side of the engine, but, apparently my engine is newer/rebuilt from the original '76 because it has a drop in filter element that is usually listed for '77 cars, as well it has a screw on fuel filter which I was told was another updated feature.

Who knows? As far as I can tell there's no screen listed for the '77 filter, the one I use, which is longer and skinnier than the short/fat '76 filter.
