i'm installing an edelbrock pro flow open air filter, and after removing the single snorkle set up, there is some vacuum hoses left over, what do i do with them, and where do i put them? do i just plug them up? thanks.

The correct solution is, DON"T USE THAT POS!!!! It will melt and get sucked into your carb, like it does on everybody else's cars that actually tries to drive around with it on there.

It's not a go-fast part at all. It's not even suitable for a car that runs. It's for people with all-chrome motors (like a 305 out of a 78 van or something), with a 6-71 blower (chromed), and all their brackets chromed, and chromed headers that haven't turned blue yet from starting up the motor, and polished and chromed dual Dominators, to have something chrome to stick on top of all that, so that 8-year-old boys can oooooh and aaaah over all the chrome as it's sitting parked in the parking lot next to other similarly chromed non-runnable cars.

Did I mention "chrome"?

 

I think RB83L69 secretly worships an all chrome 400

Like mentioned proflow usually means the triangle of death. POS temp replacement when hood space is nil. The vacuum lines can be plugged, wont affect any part of operation.

 

maybe i'm being unclear, i don't have the "triangle of death".. i have the circle open air filter.... very similar to the k&n air filter. anyways... you guys never answered my question...... what do i do with the unused hoses.

 

The small hose that has vacuum on it, just plug the vacuum port; the large one, that went to the small filter, you should get the little kit they have available for installing into the air cleaner base, because that one supplies filtered air to the crankcase for the PCV system to keep your oil clean.

 

Ah the good old circle of death J/k.
You need a replacment breather, another chrome goodie. I dont like and wont use the adaptor to air cleaner base, they never fit correctly and always jiggle loose.

 

Most parts stores sell little rubber plugs that slide over the vacuum fittings. This is what I used when I went to an open element air cleaner.
