So as many of you guys know im in the middle of this major overhaul. I am trying to get the car to run good and work out all of the bugs before I do too many big performance mods, for obvious reasons. Anyways after messing with the vacuum system I realized the car is missing a PCV valve and it shooting oil out the hole in the back of the intake. I plan to remedy this but the question I have is what vacuum line is supposed to go to the valve from the factory? I believe its the large manifold vacuum line in the rear right corner of the upper plenum? Right?

Do you have the screen that goes under the PCV valve? That screen is supposed to block the oil from coming up into the PCV valve and getting into your intake. I ask because it's not supposed to shoot oil outta the PCV valve hole.

yep but as of right now the screen is all thats there so its wet with oil. and right now the cobra intake isnt on the car but I would imagine the placement would be the same for the pcv lines right?

Yes the routing should be roughly the same. i have three intakes in the garage and all of them have a large vac line from the underside of the intake to the pcv valve. i dont think where its hooked up on the underside of the intake matters as long as it is hooked up.

Do it like this...it does matter how you do it since it is not like the stock manifold routing
