    I have two air cleaners and am not sure which year and or vehicle the one with two inlets goes in. And where do the inlets hook up to.

    2 inlets are Commando units I believe. Single are cj5. At least thats what someone told me once. The single outlet has a rubber hose that comes out of the housing, turns 90 down and goes into the valve cover. I would assume one of the outlets, on the two outlet version, does the same thing but, I don't know where the other goes.

    Search oil bath air filter with the search function. There should be a ton of info that turns up. There's a good picture in a very recent thread somewhere here. Seek and ye shall find.

    You can kind of see it in this cj5 ad from the classifieds section.

    Guessing, the left fitting connects to the carburetor float bowl vent.

    Are you guys asking about the F-head? If so one hose goes from the connection on the oil fill tube to the connection on the filter housing. I don't know about the 2 connection housing.

    That, as far as I can tell, is the right hand fitting. That is were I connected mine up.
