Actually Dan I do understand (…)If that hose by the OP's fuel pump is indeed a crankcase vent
It's not.
Fine, it's not. I'm not familiar with the system, I was going by someone's earlier post.

it will do nothing for economy and drivability to have it hooked up to the fuel bowl if it's an attempt to plumb those gases back into the fuel system.

Not that, either.
Fine, see above.

That's like saying removing the road draft tube on an older car and installing a PCV will somehow magically improve fuel economy and drivability.
I can't find where anybody said that, though. Can you point out where that suggestion was made?
No, that was an example Dan, you know that.

the people that engineered the PVC system didn't just say "run hoses to gosh I donno the carb base or the drivers side head light rather than try to make sense of what we're doing because it's some silly smog device that doesn't do anything."
No, that's right, they didn't. They knew and understood what they were doing when they engineered the PCV system. I was not referring to them. You suggested that a hose be improperly connected to what looked a lot like a randomly-selected incorrect place. I was referring to you.
Again, it was an example. And I did not make a random suggestion, I was providing an alternate to replacing a good carb or plugging it off, which I detest. (Both plugged hoses and cut wires...)

I did not guess, I did not make anything up randomly
I was assuming your good faith. Was I wrong, and you were deliberately and knowingly suggesting incorrect hookups? I doubt that, but then the only remaining possibility is that you don't actually understand the system in question… :shrug:
See above.

I do understand my suggestion which was to passively reintroduce the crankcase gases back into the combustion process like the original system did via a different method since the original point of entry was no longer available.

You really do not appear to understand the system under discussion.
I agree with that, I've never had one, and if I ever worked on one it was too long ago to remember. Again, I was going off the information that it was a type a crankcase vent. If it's not, fine, point that out, I'm always willing to learn, that's my main reason for participating in ALL my tech forums. I read a lot more than I post. After I post this I'm going to check that previous line so I can learn just where the other end of that hose is.
Quote:
It's not present on cars other than '70 California and '71 50-state/Canada; maybe that's why you haven't encountered it. You might want to hit that link provided earlier in this thread. The system is tangentially related to the crankcase ventilation system, but there's nothing wrong with the original poster's crankcase ventilation system, which is intact with its start and end points present and in use.

As for the rest…sorry you have chosen to feel insulted. Nobody will ever force you to read my posts, but if you're going to insist you know what you're talking about…and then you demonstrate otherwise…somebody might speak up about it. Might be me, might be somebody else.
I do read your posts Dan, a lot. I recognize you have a lot of information on these engines and the cars they go in. But great knowledge in an area or subject doesn't really give one license to attack those that might not.
I don't insist I know everything, hardly, no one knows everything, no one is right about everything. And if I am wrong that can be pointed out without being nasty or condescending.

And everyone reading can learn.

You're right, it does not. Handing out take-it-from-me advice not based on knowledge, on the other hand, to those who don't know any better…that merits a squawk. I'm still sorry you feel attacked.

That's quite true—including me.

Really, guys? You two gonna do this here, and tangent away from the OP's query?

The way I see it, you're both acting like ten-year-olds on a sandlot baseball diamond, argueing about whether he got you out or not.

I would expect better out of "adults".

Cool your jets, both of you.
