Hello, I have been trying to get an answer on the following question for a year now and sent e-mails out to many people. Many Thanks to Rusty with "The Carburetor Doctor" for his nice response and especially to Mike ("King" on this Forum) who even removed the aircleaner on his Pantera and sent me photos of his 4300D. Unfortunately all this didn´t answer my question.

On the 4300D Carburetor there is a plastic T-piece. On the 90° connection the tube for the hot-air-choke is connected (points with yellow spots on the photo need to be connected with each other). I don´t know where to connect the straight leg (red arrow). The tubing is missing.

Clean air is taken from the inside of the air cleaner, heated up within the intake manifold and drawn into the hot-air-choke housing.

I have found phantastic drawings on this Forum with all the hose routing information but have not seen this plastic T-piece and related connections anywhere.

My Pantera is a Pre-L from 1972 and I am sure that this T-piece is correct for the 4300D of this model year.

Thank you very much for your feedback in advance,

Robert

Thank you for your responses. It has been my target to get my Pantera as original as possible and this forum was a big help during the restoration. After all the way I still have Motorcraft 4300the last few miles to go

Here´s a picture of the side of the carb where the T-piece is installed. It is visible on the bottom.

Thank you Fernando, yes it is 9C786. At least I know now the part number of the T-piece and based on that I will try to find the correct connecting point for the tubing coming from the straight leg of it. Unfortunately 9C786 is missing on the picture with the tubing.
