Does it go right under the carb, @ the intake? The PO left one end lose the other plugged? I guess

just put a breather filter on & leave it. Do whatever you like but older/tired motors have a habit of dumping some oil into the carb & it will make you go through air filters....

get mixed with intake air and burned, rather than being dumped into the atmosphere. Be nice to your air. There is no performance or other advantage to venting it to the outside.

I don't have a heater box in the car at the moment so every time I stop at a light not only do I pollute the air but me, my lungs, my clothes, my fiance, etc. all get it...
Your car looks good. I'm in the process of building a new motor so in a few months it won't be an issue any longer - or actually it will still have just a breather because it will be a supercharged motor so no sucking going on there!

so maybe that will save you from having to go up a grade and with these gas prices... besides the air+earth is so effed up by now theres not much you can do

air cleaner housings have a hole in the bottom for that fitting.
