PCV help?
Since getting my 67 camaro on the road, i've had some serious engine pressure issues resulting in valve cover gasket failure and oil leaking out all over the place.
Symptoms:
-doesn't leak a drop of oil at idle.
-Drive down the road at highway speeds (60 mph) 3500ish rpm get back home, open the hood, the dipstick is pushed out about 2 inches and oil spray is all over the hood above the dipstick opening
-I'm pretty sure the drivers side head gasket leaks, but again only after i drive at highway speeds.
-Oil used to pool up in the depressions in the intanke manifold from the valve covers, however, i repaced the valve cover gaskets and it no longer leaks there.
I did alot of research and bought all the stuff to install a PCV system on the engine which brings me to my current issue...
I have a holley 4160 oem# LIST-3310-2 3368. There is no large PCV fitting. there is the vacuum fitting for power assist brakes at the back of the carb...which, for whatever reason (please tell me if you know) is hooked up to a breather on the TH350 trans in the car atm. the other vacuum ports are capped but from my research are the timed spark vacuum source for vacuum advance (mine appears larger than the one on the holley instruction manual i downloaded from holley.com) and the EGR port. The entire choke system has been removed.
Is there any good place for me to hook up the PCV system?
The car runs great except for the loss of oil. I'd rather not spend the money on a new carb if possible.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
