Title: Pcv problems with Edelbrock Performer
Post by: t.birdsc on October 29, 2007, 01:03:09 PM
Ok, here's the deal. I have 2 edlebrock performer intakes. One for my Bronco and 1 for my t-bird. The Bronco lower has no provision in the intake for pcv . The  t-bird lower pcv baffle must have broken off since the guy off ebay put a pipe plug in the pcv valve location. I would have liked to have kept the baffle or stock screen, but since it is plugged and broken off I'm looking for some suggestions on a pcv setup. I haven't ruled out using an exhaust draft setup but would like something cheap and simple that works well. Any ideas?


 Thanks,
 Mike

Are these Carb intakes?  The bottom of your carb has a 3/8" sized pipe off of it, both edelbrocks and Holleys have it..  that gets connected to the PCV valve on the valve cover.  Thats how a Carb setup is.  The Efi engines had the pcv in the back of the intake.  What do you have?

Thanks for the reply :)

 They are both efi. Sorry, for no  pics yet. The digital camera has to be borrowed. The pcv is in the back of the t.bird/performer intake and uses a baffle instead of a screen. The baffle is missing and one of the bosses is broken off. On top of that, the hole has a pipe plug in it. Not sure if that location can be used.
