No specific anchor point. The goal is to put the hole in a flat section of the floor as mounting it where the large fender washer is raised by a stiffener. Use grade 8 bolts, large heavy fender washers, and new lock washers. If you add three seat belts in back, I would install a long piece of steel channel under the floor to spread out the load of the bolts. My concern is that the middle seat belt brackets would be too close to the other two bolts.

Congratulations on the drive! If the car drove that far with no problems, I'd say you have a good car. The starting problem was probably a light case of vapor lock. Use non ethanol fuel if you can get it. It makes a huge difference.
