Merkey:
This weekend I will take pictures of my 300TE engine, from the same perspective so that you can do a comparo.
I will also take a picture form the other side, so you can see whether there are any plumbing differences between the two engines.
In your picture I can't see the thin hose leading up to the big, fat breather hose.
BTW, while you have the air cleaner assembly off, you may want to clean and lube the throtle linkage.
Your engine looks very clean, reflecting its low mileage
