Moving PCV connection on intake.... ok?

[BGoins12]

So I just noticed (I'm that dumb..not really) that the HO upper has a extra tree on it, as well as a capped off hole as well. I went ahead and moved my PCV connection from the middle of the intake, over to the tree, as seen in this picture.



I'm assuming this is fine, right? If so, it will save me the pain of buying extra pieces to move it where it originally was on the lopo upper.

White circle - Emission line from charcoal canister
Gray circle - Old PCV hose location
Purple - MAP sensor
Blue - FP regulator
Yellow - Firewall vacuum tree
Green - EGR solenoid
Red - New PCV location

Ignore the purple line going into the old pcv hose... I just stuck it in there so it wasn't flopping around.

Thats fine, though in stock HO form, the line goes from your grey connection to the red connection, then out to the PCV valve. I have absolutely no idea why it does that, but thats what they did. Either way works fine.

I thought that what he has marked as the red connection didn't actually receive any manifold vacuum, but just was a two-ended connector. Is there actually manifold vacuum that can be had there?

Oh, where is the PCV valve? I don't have a reason to think mine has gone bad... but it will likely be original, and I understand it is a good part of a thorough tuneup. I wasn't sure where it was on a 302 (or any car)...

That little bastard is hiding on the lower intake in the middle, right behind the upper intake manifold. Hope the engine's cold and you got small hands to get at that. And while you're there replace the element as well.

yeah, its actually a tee with two hose barbs and a pipe threaded part. If you remove it, you'll see where it goes through into the manifold.

Well now I know. Thanks.
