Most definately use it. It serves a very good purpose.

So it needs to go like this. I can't find any place for it to hook up to.does anyone have a better pic of it connected to the carb base.

Thanks,
Troy

Forget the carb base...the hose hooks to the AIR CLEANER base, not the carb base. Don't have a pic handy, but there's a small plastic filter that fits on the inside of the air cleaner, with a round end that sticks through the air cleaner base. That hose plugs onto the filter end.

If you're going with an aftermarket air filter, check them first. Many have at least an attachment point for this hose.

Don't hook it to manifold vacuum (carb base). That'll cause all kinds of problems.

The stock spacer for a small block will be taller than the BB one. Here's a quick pic of mine.

I run a push in breather in my moroso covers, & dont have any problems with the eng puking oil out the top. my 383 is pretty fresh, but gets revved pretty tight at times. as low as the truck is geared, its pretty hard to shift fast enough to keep the eng under 6800-7000 for the 1st couple gears! I dont have to wipe oil sludge off the top of the eng

same here, i have 5000 miles on my new motor with a breather and no oil on my motor. doesnt quite get up to 6800-7000 but 5500 multiple times daily. with how long it takes to get oil to go down those aftermarket valve coler bafles i cant see any oil coming out very easily. unless something is cloged and the heads just fill up with oil, but then you have more that oil bolwage to worry about
