Here is a '74 V8 HQ engine bay. You can see the hose from the tappet cover to the air filter is unattached and the housing turned around a bit. Prior to '74 the air filter trumpet was bare and the tappet cover had a breather in the cap.

This is a HQ 253 one with the breather pipe to the front.

This is a pre-74 early HQ one with no breather hose.

Here is a HZ one and although it is backwards to the others you can see the breather hose exited at the rear to plug into the passanger side bank.

Is the '74 HQ the only car to have the hose in this configuation and a unique air filter housing or were early pre-75 HJ's the same?
