I've got a '74 2.0L D-Jet motor in my car. The PCV valve has nothing inside of it (no spring or valve) so it's basically a port on the oil filler. I've got it hooked up to the airbox, like L-Jet. I can't hook it to it's stock location on the plenum as it'll over-rev the motor at idle.
I've noticed that there is oil on the inside of the plenum, presumable from the oil fumes coming through the PCV valve. Is the arrangement I have ok, or should I try and find a PCV valve. Do I risk fouling the plugs? The car does not smoke. |

I will answer the question with a question.
What does PCV stand for? Rich |
