8 1/4 vent tube

[dodge71demon]

I picked up an 8 1/4 out of a 76 Duster.Having always had 8 3/4 these are new to me.There is a vent tube instead of the vent brake hose bolt like the 8 3/4 has.It was cut off but moves freely(comes out).Where does this end up at and can I just plug it and use one like the 8 3/4 has?

The vent line goes to a tin cover welded to one of the axle tubes, if its missing or rusty you can plug the hole in the pumpkin and use the vented brake bolt like the 8 3/4 has, it will work just as good.
