The last year for the draft tube was 67. Your 70 should have a tube that 
comes down from the breather box and connects to a tube coming up from 
the filler pipe with a short piece of fabric covered rubber hose.

Are you missing something, or is the leak coming out of the junction 
between the lower tube and the hose. If the latter, you might need to replace 
the hose, and/or add some sealant to the junction.
