I bought mine in 1973 from a guy who did not know anything about cars, so i doubt that he would have changed it...and mine has breather with a single nipple...
the hose coming of the center carb vent just shot straigh out and stopped next to the edge of the air cleaner..
the car was sold in Atlanta, ...believe it was Burns chryser plymouths...

I think the extra hose on the breather is related to the state the car was built for, but more interesting is the NIPPLE  off the brake booster. T/A cars normally had the straight one. This must be a very early car. Great pictures

Probably depends on when the article was actually written, with an Aug 1970 dated issue, anythings possibile. Could either be a press release car or maybe even pilot car., OR just a simple production car

Jeff,have you ever seen a T/A-AAR with a center bowl without the bowl vent tube?Of all the small block 6pk carbs I have seen/done,I have yet to see one.
Yes I have and that is why I try and explain to people who contact me and ask which is correct. Without any type of paper trial or a solid explanation as to why things were done the way they were you cant say this particular item is set in stone. Too many variances.. I.E. different people assembling the engines, different guys handling the cars at the dealership, etc. etc. Maybe the guys on first shift thought the hose coming off the center bowl vent looked cooler just exiting to the side 3 or 4 iunches rather than connecting it to the crankcase breather. while the guys on 2nd shift did it their way. This could possibly be like the chin spoilers. it all depended on who was putting them on. Even though there was a certain way the chin spoilers were supposed to be mounted the guys prepping the cars put them on the way they thought they looked the best. Same could possibly be for this. but we may never know for sure until we find some solid proof.

I would say this only applies to the N95 cars having the 3 nipple breather. One other thing I forgot to mention was it may also have been a supply issue with Holley Carbs too. This si why I keep looking and asking questions about this. Im hoping to find answers to the questions.

2 nipples makes more sense than 3 or i. there were two connections to be made. one at the air cleaner and one at the fuel bowl vent. I dont care WHAT came from the factory. if it needs 2, I want two. if there was an additional vapor line, I'd get three.
right now I have the single. so where do I find the 2 nipple breather? my fuel bowl vent has been capped

.....I vote for three!! cucu,don't cap off the nipple on the carb. It could cause fuel starving on the top end.
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
