The 914-6 we got is missing the air cleaner.
I have after market Individual air cleaners.
Anyone have pictures of how they hooked up the breather lines to non stock air cleaners?

Also looking for an original carb type air cleaner.

When you buy a set of K&N watershield air cleaners for a 911/914-6, you get a plastic breather fitting that is used to hook the tank vent to the air cleaners. It should be mounted high up above the oil tank level. The big line connects to the filler neck, and the two small lines go to the air cleaner.

You can see the breather fitting in the picture below. It is at the left side.

There are also 90 degree fittings that go into the holes in the watershield air cleaners to hook to the breather fitting. That way everything is routed to the air cleaners so it can be pulled in for some semblance of emissions management.


I don't like the way they don't terminate inside the filter housing. Dirt and crap can get in the hoses the way they are run.


Lots of people just put a small K&N filter element on the filler neck vent. But it can result in oil on the engine during hard driving.

You could buy an aftermarket puke tank and use it.
