Mike -
I'd put it down next to the fuel pump, too. My worry with putting it where the Accessories manual shows would be that I'd go to clean the bowl out while the exhaust manifolds are still hot, spill some gas and start a fire.
Maybe someone else can chime in as to whether or not that is a realistic worry. I have no experience with trying it.
Don't try this at home kids, but I'm believe you need a open flame or spark to ignite the fuel, not just heat. Though I would be very careful.
I do know that my '51 F-sorry-D Flathead has the sediment bowl attached to the manual pump on top of the intake manifold at the rear of the engine. Another place that I wouldn't want to spill fuel on a hot engine.
