Well, from experience....
On my 427 Windsor, I did not have PCV vented into the 8-stack. Instead I had some K&N filters...
One side (the side that all others have the PCV) the filter always had some
oil on it. Had to clean it "frequently" (not because I thought it was clogged but because it attracted dust). The other side was always dry as a bone. Which side - I honestly don't remember.
The purpose of the PCV is to recapture those vapors.
Why the engine works that way was explained in one of the catch can topics. I think it has to do with crank rotation direction?
By the way, how do people that have 8-stacks connect a PCV??? When I registered mine I thought CO was going to make me have one but they didn't and I didn't ask.
