Open element air filter
What do you guys recommend doing with the valve cover vent tube when switching to an open element air filter? It's a 1978 L82 350.

The open element unit I have came with a plastic elbow fitting to install in the bottom of the air cleaner housing. I shortened the stock metal tube and connected a short rubber hose from the tube to the elbow. Doesn't look too bad.

That's the ticket. The stock open element systems did exactly that. Valve cover to air cleaner bottom via a hose.
