I removed the blue cookie jar because there aren't cookies in an Pantera engine compartment, but now I'm not sure what the best thing to do with the fuel tank vent hose.
I did a search and found discussion about plumbing it to the air cleaner. Is there any new thoughts on this? I asked my x-wife, she said to connect the hose to the distributor ... I am suspicious about that advice.

Its a simple vent hose that passes air into the tank when the engine's running & taking fuel out. Attaching it to the air cleaner allows filtered air to go to the tank especially if you use Fram or AC's tiny filter hookup (which also acts as a flame arrestor in the event of a backfire). It also allows gas fumes to move into the air cleaner on hot days when the engine's not running, so I suppose its possible to smell fumes under some situations. If this bothers anyone, those charcoal cannisters are still available from Ford; they just don't last forever....
