Almost everywhere I look, the replacement drier for a 1972 Javelin has both line fittings at the top of the canister.  I know it can be made to work, but is that the right one?  The one on my car now has a line at each end.  Everything else is stock for now and before I think about upgrading to a sanden and maybe a larger condenser (if required) then Id like to know the right drier.

Thx

Send that one off to Classic Air for new desiccant. They cut it apart and reweld it.

They cut it open, replace the bag of desiccant, and weld it closed.
