Default Pcv vapour hose routing 1971 350

Getting new emission hoses for my 71 the AIM shows the Carbon cannister hose coming vertically from the pcv valve T. Is this correct I know there are a few errors on emission systems in the AIM.
I'm not being picky but I might as well cut them to the correct length.

Hi gj,
The pcv valve typically has a sort piece of rubber hose (1") coming off the valve to a tee that the large hose from the vapor canister slips on to and then another piece of hose of the same size leads to the carb.
There are 2 clamps on the short piece of hose but not on the large hose connections.
The smaller hose runs continuously from the canister to the carb.
You're right; the tee is turned incorrectly in the AIM drawing.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan thought it must be wrong, so 2 clamps from the pcv to the T

Alan,

Is that the box style distributor cover on a 71?

Hi Bill,
I always liked the open air cleaner and closed distributor shield on sb cars.
So when I first finished the car in 2006 I had it that way…. it had a Holley dp, and side exhaust too.
Then in 2011 when I decided to have it Flight Judged for it's 40th birthday year I changed things over.
The picture I posted is sorta midway… it showed the pcv set up so I used it.
It's nice to know someone who notices the details!
Regards,
Alan
