Oil bath air filter vacuum routing, does it matter or not? Options

[bradtho]

I'm sure I'm the first person to ever remove something without paying enough attention to know how to put it back together properly. I remember all the big diameter hoses, but there are 2 small diameter hoses ('72 1.7l) that route into the underside of the air filter. One goes to the thing that controls the flapper, the other is green. They plug right next to each other. does it matter which one goes where? I've checked half a dozen vacuum hose schematics and none show these oil bath air filter hoses.

so you have a preheat aircleaner oil type is what it sould like (you mention the flapper with the hose) the green hose if it comes from the distributor vacuum can goes to the throotle body. I am note sure ont eh color of the hoses for the preheater "flapper" but its hose should come from the intake plemum, (the big black metal can the four intake runners are connecected too that go to the heads)

dont mix up teh distributor vacumm hose with the pre-heater hose, that can effect timng.
