    I installed Aluminum Intake & Holley 600. The Holley has a Carb bowl vent( see pic) & my stock carb did not. What do I hook this up too or do I cap it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike:)

    That bowl vent is there for a purpose, I wouldn't cap it.

    The Holleys with the regular vent tube vent into the air breather. Anyway you can run a line to the botom of your breather out of site?
    I would think that it needs the vent to allow the fuel to leave the bowl easily.

    You don't want to plug that vent, it's the only way that bowl breathes.

    I agree... run a line to the air cleaner or something, but if you cap it the fuel pump will be fighting pressure and the thing will never work right.
