I have noticed that the air box connection is loose after getting to work on the car. Took the box off, changed the filter and vacuum hoses but noticed the connection isn’t tight after getting everything back together. I’m not married to the stock box if there is a better solution but just not sure if this connection is a wear item or I’m missing a way to tighten this connection.
Thanks! Attached thumbnail(s)

I thought (on my '73 2.0) there was a rubber sleeve that went into the airbox and made a secure, seal when tightened. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
