i would say the bottom one goes to the block, and the other must go to the other side of rocker cover

The pipe with the filter on goes to the metering head,
The pipe to the left goes to top left of the rocker
The bottom pipe goes to the block
The right pipe goes to the right on the rocker
If you want to vent to atmos with the filter just connect the others as above.
This is how my bailey seperator is plumbed

Don't think you can vent teh KE-Jetronic to atmosphere. I know when you take the oil cap off the engine is supposed to die

Take off the small pipe that runs from the right hand side of the rocker cover (Behind the oil filler cap) down to the block.
Where it enters the block, thats where the bottom of the breather should be connected to...
(Via a short pipe)

you shouldn't be able to vent to atmosphere because Bosch KE-Jetronic doesn't like air leaks and thats what venting to stmosphere is essentially.

you can vent to atmo on ke jet,bung up the return breather hose on MH
downside now if you do have a boost leak anywhere its a bugger to know as the engine wont tell you now by cutting out,had mine venting to atmo for a couple of months and seems to idle better and be a little smoother too,maybe removin the dump valve aided that
