Hose clamp the filter. Replace it every couple of months. As long as it is clamped down and in good shape, it will be fine.

assuming they didnt change it from earlier models... It should just have a square end on the cable with a slit around it for a tiny circlip going through the dustcap. Someone probably pulled it and lost the clip and figured they would do the next best thing Shocked

That might help.
The squared end mind be stuck in the dust cap. It might take some persuading. To really get a good look at it you might have to clean it all off really well. The Cable is squared at the end and fits through a square hole in the dust cap. Do not forget the circlip.

Awesome 67 dude. I had one, loved it. I miss that style dash, lot different than my 71.

Good to see some more younger folks like myself tinkering on dubs, my old friend had a tan 67, full resto, man he hated that car everytime something needed adjustment. He gave it to me like 10 times saying, "here, fkkk it, I don't even want it anymore!" Haha.

Keep it forever.
