Don't know where hoses should go
I have a couple simple questions to get started that anyone that has seen one of these engines can answer for me. Any help is appreciated. I can't find a clear view in my Hayne's manual.
There is a metal tube on the exhaust manifold that used to have a hose on it. What is that supposed to connect to and what type of hose should be there? I have a plastic accordion hose coming out of a small box behind the front bumper. What is that supposed to connect to? I have an open hole on the bottom of my air filter box. There is a screw that held something to it. What is supposed to connect to that hole and how is it supposed to connect to the box?

are you sure the metal pipe is coming from the exhaust manifold? if it is from the back of the inlet manifold (above the exhaust manifold), then it is probably the vacuum pipe that goes to the distributor vacuum advance. A short piece of this https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/N0202811/fuel-breather-hose-per-metre-7mm-3mm-wall-cotton-braided/ connects to a thin plastic vacuum hose, that runs down to the distributor.
Hope this helps

The outlet you show on the manifold isn't the same as on mine, so I cannot help. sorry. It isn't the one I was thinking of.
