I'm in the process of installing the tuna can and am unsure what goes where. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is this from the Racer Chris - Tangerine group buy?

If so there are a lot of comments here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=203236&hl=tuna can&st=200

I just did this about 6 weeks ago. the strainer goes on the bottom facing upward. the bottom cover goes under that. you will need 3 seals.
1. bottom cover facing up,
2. put seal on this between it and the strainer, and
3. put another seal between the strainer and the tuna can
4 put seal on top of tuna can and attach to car.

I don't remember which way the part you were asking about goes, but it will only fit one way. I think the longer part goes down, the shorter up, on top of the strainer.
Some choose to use gasket sealer on the seals, I just put oil on them, I have not had a leak since I installed mine.

Good Luck.
Phil

Whatever you do, make sure that the pickup tube extender is sealed around the pickup tube, else the engine will pickup air through the gap that will be higher than the original pickup tube. Kind of defeats it's purpose without sealant.

Thanks Phil, How did you get the long bolt to go thru the strainer?

Just hog it out a little bit and make sure there are no shavings left in or around the screen.
