Should the cap in the valve cover have two nipples? Do both the manifold breather hose and the the center carb vent line go to the cap?

ive seen 3 nipple caps with one tube for the air cleaner, one for the carb fuel line vent and one for ???? (fuel line vent maybe?)

but 440 6 bbls have a vapor line that go to the return line.

so a 2 nipple cap seems like it would be right.

heres a bump for you anyways.

NO USEFUL INFO IN THIS REPLY

Where is the vent on the center carb (1970) suppose to go? It looks like a hose should attach and go where?

fuel vent just goes to open air unless you have N95 (cal emissions).

I didn't like that much, so I put a 2 nipple breather on my 6 pack so I'd have someplace to put the fuel vent, even though the 2 nipple is only correct for Cal 6 cylinders.

from what i know is
that in 70 on a n95 car (cal emission)
that it would have a 2 nipple cap with one line going to the tank and the other back to the air cleaner and the hose next to the throttle plate goes to the PVC on the left side VC

and on a 71 the 3rd hose from the breather cap goes to the port up by the metering plate( see circled) mines a 70 non 95 car

hope this helps
if im wrong someone please step in

so what do you got a 71 n95 car ??
if so you need a 3 nipple cap
70 n95 car will have 2
non n 95 will have one

that port on the carb is the bowl vent.

So youre saying that on a 70, non cal emissions car, there will be only a single nipple breather and that goes to the air cleaner. So I guess the carbs fuel bowl vent is blocked (capped off) on those???

NO! You don't want to cap it off, it's a vent. It's just open to the air. I think a short hose goes on it just to help keep stuff out of there, but the hose doesn't go to anything, it's just open on the other end.

Here you go. This is an original untouched 440+6 1970 'Cuda. It has the California emissions and clearly the three nipple breather. The hose that appears to go nowhere actually goes to the shaker base plate. Hope this helps. Rob

The picture showing the plumbing with the 3 nipples has a mix up in the hose connections. The bowl vent goes to breather , the opposite side PVc valve goes to the bottom of carb {these are switched in the photo} . Good picture though

Hi guys, I see what your saying (if your talking about my photo) and yes, it is very likely they were (obviously) switched. Thanks for the info. I will put them the correct way when the car is restored. Rob
