I have a '71 1.7 with the oil bath air assembly. Have picked up a '73 paper element assembly to replace mine. In looking at it I see that the '71 has one more hose connection then the '73. On both they have a fitting on the side for what appears to be the crankcase breather. On the '73 that is the only one. But the '71 has one at the intake area. It connects to a tube that runs to the driverside and then out of the engine compartment. Not sure what is it for. Jus that it is not on the '73. Also the '71 has a flapper valve at the air intake. Not on the '73.
So, how do I adapt the '73 to be used on the '71. tom... |

Thanks Mike, I thought that second one may be part of the fuel evap system. But does it just dump into the air cleaner assembly housing (that is what it appears on the old one)? If so, then guess just a barb fitting attached anywhere on the air assembly would work, right?
Any thoughts on the flapper assembly on the '71 cleaner assembly and not on the '73. tom... |
