2 PVC valves

Bobby Zlatkin · 08-04-2010, 03:53 PM

Anything wrong with having a PCV valve in each valve cover and connecting them with a T-fitting into the carb?

I'm changing to an air cleaner base that doesn't have provision for the hose from the other valve cover.

Any disavantage?

In the past, the use of two PCV's has been not allowed. Been told it must be OEM configuration. many eliminate them and install K&N breathers on both valve covers.

Advantages? It depends how much leak down you have on the engine.

I run it on my 283 super stock car it has been a while but it did pick my car up, Patterson along with casill have it on there 283 also. It did have more vacume than hooking it up to the header. I was told 1 to 2 hp on the dyno on a super stock motor don't know about stockers. Q jets don't like it I am told. It may have somthing to do with the ring package one is useing. Tom
