Air Flow Meter Part Question

Post by jimmycakes401 »

Still assembling here. Which of these two attach to my air flow meter hose thing? Great technical term. Getting so close to putting this thing back together. At least under the hood....

Not sure it is a crank case breather or Vent Hose. Looks to big to be the short elbo and to short to be the long hose for the breather. With that said it is really tough to judge from the picture. Intersting the end of the hose is flared to accept a metal insert. A lot of possabilities and I'm not sure how disassembled the car is. Could be a coolant/radiator hose or the short heater hose or a bypass filter hose. Any additional clues?

Hmmmm... Wonder if it is extra. I don't see any heater hoses missing. Not sure about the crank. The interior is stripped pretty good. There shouldn't be any hoses under the dash right?

right
i think its the small oil seperator hose it goes under the intake
theres a round can sticking out of the block with two hoses
the long one goes to the air cleaner

if these get crimped the car runs crappy
if there ripped open it stinks
and makes a mess

you may need to cut to fit the small end
use some dish soap inside for easy fitting
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)
