Reconnect the hose and double-mushroom connector that went into the box with the breather filter that was inside the box, along with the corresponding tube. Sorry about not mentioning that, when I did the write-up it was kinda late at night.

Also, I forgot to mention how to connect an aftermarket breather to the stock breather filter box. With most aftermarket breathers, there is a small silicone or rubber connector and clamp that comes with it. all you gotta do is remove the stock foam filter from the box (you can decide to epoxy the filter box shut if you like...), take the small plastic tube off the end of the breather box, and put the new breather over the nipple. As always, remember to put the hose clamp on BEFORE you put the little connector hose and breather on. Then, either find a solid place to prop the breather filter on, or get some clothes-hanger wire and anchor it to something in the engine bay.

HTH.

P.S.
Thanks GS474 for posting the pics. I appreciate it!
