I used one of the differential vents from Jegs or Summit but I don't recall which. They offer different styles from $5-10.

Thumbs up Venting...

Mosier & Currie looked more for strip use...

They attach directly to the tube...

NOT that I have anything against strppers...

One way is to install a metal can type fuel filter (3/8 ?) with the mounting bracket horizontally on the rear cross member and run a piece of fuel line hose from the diff vent to one end of the filter.

I reused the original one but had to relocate it because of fitment issues with the Shockwave 9000 suspension. I hadn't considered getting a different vent yet.

That vent also attaches the distribution block to the differential for the rear brake lines.
