Hi all,
Can anybody tell me what should be connected to this little pipe on my air filter box? It is a '74 1.8 with the L-Jetronic. It came without anything connected to it when I bought it.
Thank you in advance!
Frank
My guess, charcoal canister.

or you can do @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=104 's resto mod on the set up.
frank - probably your whole charcoal cannister set up is missing?
what is the build date on the car?
it would be sucking air above the filter (and dirt/dust) through that port.
if the vapor emission equip is missing i would plug that port on the air cleaner if i was you.
Thank you all for the help, those drawings clarifies a lot. I still have the charcoal canister although I highly doubt it does any good after 50 years. But I will connect it as in the drawings.
I wonder what the reason is for this connection, it doesn't really make sense to me.
Boy! I just got a good reminder of how well the evap system on these cars works. Took the car for a drive earlier and refilled the gas tank. Then drove home and parked it in the garage. Wife comes home just a few minutes later in the DD and parks in the other bay. A half hour later and the garage WREAKED of gas fumes. So much so that I started checking both cars for fuel leaks. Finally found the culprit. I had removed the charcoal canister over the weekend to access the intermittent wiper relay. When I reinstalled, I forgot to reconnect the little hose from the charcoal canister to the evap tank. What an unbelievable stench that belched out of there.
yes as david said the charcoal cannister
