I had a '73 which had the same starter. If I remember correctly, remove the starter cable and ground, remove the bottom bolt, and the starter should move down and pull out of the top bracket.

I removed all bolts and nuts. The starter is mounted in what looks like a cast mount top and bottom. This is puzzling.
