The car's engine isn't stock at all! (A 1971 Chevelle) The engin's a 402 BB (1972) with a Holley 800 DP & M/T valve covers! It's the driversides valvecover that's got this hose connection. At the passenger side the hole's plugged whith a rubber plug. At the base of the carburator there's a 1/4'' hose, thats been cut off & plugged with a bolt. Is this the place where the valve cover vent shoult go to?
