Default Correct crankcase vent pipe?

Hello all:

Does this look like the correct vent pipe for a '71 Formula 400? It fits but seems odd that the right snorkel would be pointed to accept some of the heated air from the radiator.

Thanks, Rick

The 71 and up dual snorkel air cleaners have a hole in the bowl area for the carb vent tube. If you have an original style carb, the vent tube should come through that hole and position the air cleaner appropriately. Your vent pipe looks like an original one but I have seen at least three different lengths of these.
