This is how it's set up on my Fuel Injected 71 SB. There should be a hose 
connected to the elbow. The hose is routed through the front of the 
engine compartment to a container (I'm not sure what this is called or 
what it does). Then a hose comes from the other side of the container 
back into the engine compartment to the air cleaner. I hope this helps.
