I have a 1070 Duster that I need pictures that show how the generator mounts to the engine.g It is a 1973 340. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

You need 70 and up aluminum water pump bracketry that's for sure.

Also look in your factory service manual
 
Setup and type of brackets used varies depending on if the car is AC equipped or not.
Non-AC:

Note that the alternator mounting ear goes to the FRONT of the water pump-alternator bracket.

With factory AC:

it's kinda tough to see in the pics, but the alternator mounts to the AC bracket at the front (ear BEHIND the bracket in this case), and the rear of the alternator mounts to a small bracket that bolts to the head. This results in the AC-equipped alternator sitting a bit higher than it does without AC.
Edit:
I forgot to mention the lower (adjuster) bracket for AC- it's not just a strap like the non-AC piece, it's an entire bracket of it's own that bolts rigidly to the water pump and a threaded hole on the lower part of the head:
