I bought a fram pcv valve and it has a 90 degree elbow attached to it with 2 outlets. Bascially, it looks nothing like the one on my car already. Does that elbow just come off and the rest slides into the hose? I havent opened it yet incase i have to take it back.

I have ran into that same thing before. Yep you can just pull the rubber elbow off.

Be sure it's a good snug fit into the grommet - I've found with anything other than the Motorcraft pcv's, they fit rather loosely in the grommet - which can create a vacuum leak.

Michael makes a good point. Even though I have just pulled the rubber elbow off and used the metal pcv valves from the parts store, they never fit as snug as Motocraft pcv valve.

same here i ended up using a motorcraft pcv valve as sometimes the purolator one i was using would fall out and cause a big vacuum leak.

everyone is right on. dont forget to renew the grommet and clean/renew the screen under the valve.
good luck.

thanks again for all the replies, the fram one i used fit snug but I think i am going to go to ford and get the whole setup (grommet,screen, valve) so it will all be new like.

it sux that you can only get the screen(element) from ford... I bought a typhoon intake and the rubber part is not staying in, but i have bigger problems and i guess that can wait for silicone or something until later.

Actually you can get the screen at the parts store too. I have bought them at advance before. I would still recomend getting it all from ford though.

Yep, in fact, I had my new 92 vert dropped off at a shop I used before. I had my mom pick up a new PCV valve from Autozone and the shop refused to install it for the exact reasons stated above. I had forgot about the fitment problem. Good catch on their part. Something to do when I get home again.
