Tii Breather Connections...

This past weekend I pulled the breather tube off of my '73tii - the one from the rocker cover to the air canister. It has a nipple on it in the middle for a small diamenter hose that I can't figure out. I know that there is a line that runs from someplace under the tuna can...I hooked that one up to the air canister.

The source of this one is a mystery. Anybody?

I'm just trying to undo thirty years of well-intentioned "tinkering" by the five previous owners.

on the right side of the throttle body. Sort of behind #3 air tube.

FYI- if you order a new breather hose from the air plenum/accumulator, make sure you get the little press in nipple. There will be a small hole already formed in the breather hose. Use a little alcohol to help press it in. I think the small hose is 4x6 mm or something like that.

The connection is down low on the firewall side of the throttle body very close to where the TB attaches to the intake plenum. I would imagine yours has some sort of cap or sealed-off hose on it or you'd have a nasty little vacuum leak.

...to the air canister. Is that not correct?

If that's not correct, then is that the one that connects to the nipple on the breather hose?

Whatever the case, I have an extra fitting.

Is there a link with a picture?

Do you possibly have an air canister from a '74? I have only one connection on my air canister--the large one that goes to the main breather hose (and the small connection off the throttle body does go to the t-connector on the main hose). Air canisters for '74's have an extra small fitting that (I think) goes to the vaccuum retard on the distributor or some other emission device.

Sorry, don't have any good pictures of it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
