Default pcv

I started with an oil burning problem a few years back and got into this ventilation stuff thinking that, and to much oil in the heads was the source of my oil burning. I am convinced by all of the replies from guys smarter than I am, that you should run some form of pcv valve. I have run mine from one of the valve covers to a nipple on the rear carb. That way your engine is reburning the vapor rather than have it drip out along the bottom of the car. The original 427s with there pentroof valve covers did not do it this way. They let there oil filler cap and there "S" shaped rear vent, off the intake, do the job but in those days they didn't use PCV any way. Search FE Talk for PCV you should get more information then you can read.
