Hey Guys, I've got a 1350 Manual TC. There is a nipple with a hose connected which then splits at a T into two hoses. I'm assuming these are vent hoses, do they attach to anything or should I just wire tie them up? My B2 was originally 2wd so I'm not sure where these are supposed to go as I didn't have anything to go from. Thanks guys!

They usually clip into the front of the shifter plate. I've never seen one go to a T though.

Ok, I'll just wire tie them up as high as possible with the outlet facing downwards.

I put a longer tube and ran it up to near the master cylinder under the hood, right along with the front axle

The tubes are vents, I installed the "T" and ran the tube up the firewall. I don't remember if I put the plug back in it or not, if not just use a push lock button like those that hold the door panels in place.
You still fighting it, or are you just wrapping it up.

I ended up wiring tying them up high.

I actually just pulled it out of the garage today. It had some headers on it which interfered with the front driveshaft so I just dropped it off at the muffler shop to get the y-pipe rerouted. Sat it's getting an alignment and then from there I just need to source a front driveshaft and I'll be 100%.
