    Which is correct?

    Hi,

    Small issue....I have a 1972 911T MFI. I am trying to figure out which way around the clip for the vacuum hose that runs across the fan housing to the distributor goes. Is clip facing in or out? Red engine faces in, Yellow faces out.

    Facing in on my 73E. But it could have easily been turned around in the 40+ years after it left the factory....

    Looks like I'm missing that clip. Can somebody point me to a replacement? Thanks.
