I have a few buddies with blown 302's that are having problems with crankcase pressure. I know a lot of guys run a different PCV valve, like one from a super coupe or something. Anyone have a part number?
 
What Joe said...Ask for the one that is for the TBird Super coupe.
I found a pic, but I didnt have the PN.

Either the TBird Super coupe one like said above or one from a '95/96 Toyota Supra Turbo. it's a little smaller but just pick up the Toyota grommet from the parts store also and the grommet fits into the stock 5.0 PCV grommet.

You can really tell a difference between them and the stock one if you blow through it. It will completely close off.

That's the same one I run and I still have oil coming out of the breathers at hard boost. I 'm going to have to get an oil catch can to relieve the problem.
If the are getting blow by then the catch can is the ticket from what I've been reading.
:nice:

I'd also recc the inline check valve

Is this like a catch can? I tried putting a plastic 3/8" fuel filter in the PCV line, but I think the underhood temps are a little too much for the plastic casing of the fuel filter. It seemed to catch the oil while it was there though.

I'm trying to think of more ideas to solve this problem. I think I'll try the new PCV valve also.

FYI, for awhile I spliced a piece of 5/16" into the 3/8" PCV line and it worked real well, but I'm not sure if gave the system adaquate "flow."

Where'd you get it?

Walmart, in the tool section, by the air compressor stuff.
All you need is that and about 3' of 3/8 heater hose and put it inline w/ the pcv and your good to go. I'll post pics of my setup when I get a chance.
