Air Cleaner Insights, 914-6 Correct Options

[DennisV]

Is this air cleaner correct for 1970 914-6? Am I missing any components?

I went through the other air cleaner threads I could find. A couple things about our plastic one that seems curious when I compare it to the photos I'm finding of others identified as 914-6:

1. No clips or inlets for cold start fuel lines
2. Large to small outlet plastic fitting

Thanks.

P.S. I am unclear about the fittings. My best guess is the small single port metal one is a water drain valve and big plastic one with two outlets is oil breather? Not sure how to connect either.

It’s always something. I guess the safe way is to get the correct buckets, no raised inner wall.

Guess that’s why there are a variety of clamp sizes. Now looking more closely at Rory's pictures, it does appear that there is a slight difference in the height of the clip mounts between the the higher inner wall bucket and the correct one with even height walls. Either way the higher inner wall one will not fully seat down into a plastic box, therefore the clip distance is different and the rubber seals never seat onto the box body.

Until looking with this much detail, never knew the differences, Guess I was just lucky when I bought the buckets at hershey and got the right ones.
