Where is this hose supposed to go? (pictures included)
I have a 82 trans am. with 305 V8 and carburator (holley) and edelbrock intake manifold. Tried to fix some other things when i discovered this hose.
It is coming from the driver's side valve cover. Where should I connect it?

Air cleaner
It's the make-up air to replace what the PCV sucks out of the crankcase

Re: Where is this hose supposed to go? (pictures included)
Thank you for quick replies. The thing is my air cleaner is from weiand. I don't recall seeing a place to connect a hose on it. Any suggestions on what to do? It looks like this:

oh damn a fly eye, remove that POS! They catch fire, the foam becomes brittle and gets sucked into the carb. Get a proper air cleaner...anything but that

I agree with Twin_Turbo, get rid of it! My buddy had one and it caught on fire, did some major damage.

Mine goes to the back of the carb or intake I can't remember. Anything with vacuum should work.

Re: Where is this hose supposed to go? (pictures included)
It doesn't get vacuum. It's make-up air.
Get that other thing off of your car!!!! It's a fire hazard waiting to happen. That's for cars that don't run, but all they do is sit around in parking lots in sq-in-of-chrome contests, for the 8-yr-olds to oooh and aaaah over. ABSOLUTELY NOT for engines that are actually started, and above all, NOT "performance" in any manner way shape or form.

Re: Where is this hose supposed to go? (pictures included)
A thought that striked me;
would a stock fbody filter fit with my holley 600 carb?
Maybe this is a good alternative?

As for the element size I believe Holley is 5.125" where the cleaner comes to the carb. Any element that meets that requirement would work.

Ok. Now it's replaced. Bought a 14" edelbrock aircleaner with 3" filter. First i thought it would be to tall, but measured and now everything is in place and running. Thank you for all your help!

Re: Where is this hose supposed to go? (pictures included)
Im thinking of deleting mine that goes to the air cleaner. Good or bad ? Can i just put a breather filter there in its place ?

Bad idea, if you leave it open the engine will suck dusty air into it. Using a breather/filter would be ok.
