[T3] cylinder head breather ports on a 1972 Squareback

[Jim Adney]

I think you'll be okay if you plug the extra holes in the air cleaner 
and just run it this way. With the original setup, this would draw 
clean air into the heads and flush out the case, keeping condensation 
to a minimum. This would be especially useful in cold weather.

Did you keep your old heads? I could use a pair of good rebuildable 
'72-3 heads if you still have them.
