The third nipple is in that photo, but it is in the shadowed area.
It has come up before.
If you take a 3-nipple breather & hold it at the same angle / orientation you can spot it, try it.
If that is the case then where is the third hose and pipe coming from the fender well? It's not in the whole engine picture from above. By looking at Troys engine pic it would have to be hanging out to wards the engine.
The steel line would be out of view in the magazine photo. Here is a N95 T/A line.

Here is a pic of a new 1970 440 6 pack Chall as tested in a March 1970 Road Test magazine. It clearly shows a 2 nipple breather and it definitely does not have the N95 emission vent line.
What is that running from the breather across the heater motor to the fender then?

Barry - I don't think that breather matches a 3-nipple based on a comparison to this pic. You should be able to see the "superfluous 3rd nipple"

It sticks out like a 440-6 in a 340-6 discussion.

Looking at this closeup I cannot see where you see a third (OK) fitting for the tank vent. I do have an appointment to get new glasses but I still don't see it.

Maybe I'm just the stubbern German in me but I don't see why they would have this system for California and just let the carb vent into the open air for the rest on the states. They got rid of the crankcase open vents in the 60's and went to a PCV system so why let the carb vent open?

That is the windshield washer hose. It's much smaller. I figured that would taken as vent hose.

hemi70se It looks like you and I are out on a limb alone on this. Until someone can come up with photos from the 70's showing the vent was just left open I'm going to rely on the two magazine articles I can produce to show it wasn't.
I went back and reread the two articles thinking that maybe they were the same car. They were not. One of the cars had 3:91's and the other has 3:55's. The articles were 2 months apart and two different cars.

I have that magazine also. That car is highly modified for racing. There isn't much OEM on that motor. If you read the caption of the picture it says the engine has been blueprinted for drag racing. How many OEM parts got put back on? This is far from a stock showroom engine bay. http://96.18.66.248/images/HPC02%20(Large).jpghttp://96.18.66.248/images/HPC04%20(Large).jpg
