Rich: It should be tied into the PCV line leading to the carbs or led into a
container that can catch the oil that emits from the tube. The smog engine
is a closed system that produces internal pressure, and that is the tube that
allows release of that pressure. At least that is the way I understand it.
So you need either that tube open or a vented oil filler cap to relieve that
pressure.
