My '70 TR6's airbox has the 2 cylindrical feeders at the front (but not the
flexible hoses).  It also has the rectangular openings on the back side of
the airbox.  The Haynes TR250/6 manual shows this setup and a support panel
that the hoses attach to.  I'm not sure what this panel attached to though,
and it never appears in any old TR6 pictures I have.  A Nov. 71 Motor Trend
story on a GT6 shows the hoses attached to the airbox and extending to the
right side of the rad.
