A-Draft tube allows vapors (not oil) to escape down into the tunnel. That's why it comes off a top one.
B-Back of manifold, if you need a plate check my site.
C-sump to the Pom
D-trans is the gearbox, I put a little tube welded in to top of trans cover, you could drill and tap for a small hose barb also.
The tube that goes to the oil pan comes off the bottom of the tank draining any yuckies into the pan. That's why we change oil regularly as it also allows condensation into the pan.

I thought only the FEs had a space for the breather plate? SB manifolds have a fitting or need one drilled and tapped. My 289 Performer RPM uses the brass vacuum block for the crankcase vent.

So the puke tank is also the oil fill as well? And has anyone adapted a PCV to this setup? I've seen some where there's just a hole drilled in the valve cover with a rubber grommet. |

What's the purpose of this connection? Intuitively it would seem like you just need the puke hose from the back of the manifold and then two tubes going out, one for vapors and one for oil back to the pan. So what's the other one for?

It's a vent for the gearbox. The originals had a hose running from the differential to a "T" on the gearbox, and then on up to the puke tank.
Opinions vary as to whether it's a good idea to connect all 3 together. I omitted the line from the differential to gearbox, but I did connect the gearbox to the puke tank.
