So, I pieced together enough parts to run the stock air box assembly on my '75, but I don't see any nipples or attachment points on the air box for the crank case breather hoses.
I tried pulling up the parts diagrams and they don't show anything either.
How and where are the crankcase breather hoses routed on the mid-'70's models?
 
- does your left engine cover have a hole like this?

One of them did, off the '75. It was in rough shape, so I had a different one polished.
That may even be my pic....the one from my bike. Even so, the breather has two outlets. Where did the other hose go?
 
The stock breather on my 75 had two outlets, the right side has a rubber plug in it, the left side has the hose. It ran down into that hole. I guess the factory thought the oil mist that came out the breather would keep the chain oiled.
