Where to route bowl vent?

[MopaR&D]

I'm running a Carter AFB on my 360 and just have the bowl vent open to the air. I've heard that running a hose from the bowl vent to the PCV breather can save a little gas mileage by capturing the wasted fumes when the vent valve is open. I don't have a breather with hose fittings though, can I hook mine up to my air cleaner or...?

Just let it vent out.

Hook it up to your charcoal canister

Hook it up to your charcoal canister

Ain't got one of those... 340sFastback it runs fine but any easy way to save a little gas is worth it to me.

no gas savings.

if you want a little gas savings run a 2 barrel, or keep your foot out of it lol

Running the bowl vent to the pcv breather would worry me a little. With the engine off the gas will still evaporate and the fumes would go into the valve cover maybe. Maybe I am wrong about this.

the pcv is to pull crankcase pressure and needs to be routed to the vacuum port of the carburetor

Alright guess I'll just leave it be... I'm getting pretty decent gas mileage as it is (16+ mpg avg. with mixed driving) anyway. Thanks for clarifying that guys.
