73 Charcoal canister to 1406 carb

That air cleaner comes with a nipple to put on the base. It is actually for the crankcase evaporative system, but you could use it for the canister. If you really want it right, you could get a second nipple and use it for the canister with the original for the crankcase evap.

It would not hurt a thing in the world to run a tee from the ported vacuum port to both the distributor and canister. You may need to readjust your vacuum advance, but that's very simple.

Actually mine didn't come with the nipple but that gave me a good reason to get a free return back to Amazon when I found out Edelbrock is giving these air cleaners away with the purchase of a carb through the end of April. So I've ordered my free air cleaner!

I wasn't going to get the 1205 PVC connection because honestly I didn't understand why you would need it. Aren't you connecting the pcv to the front of the carb? But now maybe I will get this part if I can connect the canister correctly by using it. Why would someone need this for crankcase ventilation?
