stupid problem
 

i cant find my pcv. i have looked in the haynes manual, but it is not very specific, and i have been unable to find it searching this site either.
i have a 1987 with a carb. I know it has to be someplace obvious.
thanks for any help

It will be on top of the valve cover and have a hose going to the intake manifold.

i would have thought it was there also
but the only vacuum line coming off the valve cover goes to the box on the side of the air filter houseing. And that line is connected to the valve cover with a metal line with no pcv, unless its under the valve cover? The haynes book says to test pcv clamp that hose shut and idle should change. that is the correct vacuum line, right?
thanks

RE: stupid problem
 

it almost sounds like someone removed the pcv valve and replaced it with a metal fitting.... The line normally comes off the pcv in the valve cover then a rubber hose goes to the intake, so if it's not there perhaps it's missing?

RE: stupid problem
 

i believe the pcv is a metal screw in type in the intake manifold.

and does anybody know where in the intake it is?
thanks

Since you can't seem to find it, go to autozone or advance or whatever. They can point it out to you easily.
