Mystery intake/outlet in engine bay 74 2.0 Options

Does anyone know what should connect to this black steel pipe coming from the engine tin on the driver's side?



It is not for the hoses from the charcoal canister. Those are both connected.

BTW my car is a 73 and the engine is a 74 2.0 GA engine

Thanks!

The port on the driver's side tin is correct for a '73 MY 2.0 car's charcoal canister. The port on the fan housing was for the later cars that had the canister mounted near the battery. I don't recall the exact changeover, but I think it was about '74. You have tin and a housing from different years, so just cap the one not being used.

Edit: Another look at your hose routing suggests that your car(or at least the plastic tubes across the front of the engine) are for a 1.7. The 1.7 cars used the port by the battery as well.

Correct. My 74 2.0L (built March 1974) has the charcoal cannister mounted with a strap to the back of the forward trunk wall and uses the port on the fan housing.
