    I'd follow the line to its source and cap it off there.

    If you have the fuel pump/vacuum pump combination, you might consider putting on the later model fuel only pump, and cap the vacuum line at the tee just before the pcv valve. Or use it to power up your vacuum booster for the brakes if you put that on.:coffee:

    only if you wish your motor to run correctly. easy fix, remove all but 3inches of line, install a correct size bolt and snug down any leaks with a hose clamp.
