Pcv help needed in UK

[Sellyservice@ao]

Hi from the Uk, My Cobra has a FE 390 big block and on the rear of the intake manifold it has a open breather, I find this lets the smell of fumes into the cab and makes driving it abit head achey, I've seen some pcv valves that bolt in its place but don't know what I'd need to change on the valve covers, want to let the engine breath as it should so any pics or info would help, regards Paul

it should not be leaking, is it leaking from the grommit to the rocker cover ofr to the pcv valve. there are different grommits and pcv valve diameters.

Do you have an open breather on one valve cover?

Hi not sure about open breather thing seem to have the same chrome thing on both valve cover(no pipes coming of them) i will check tomorrow, but really is quite smelly out the intake manifold breather, makes driving the cobra a bit sicky after a while..

The rear intake breather is held down by two bolts has quite thick tube with mushroom thing on top, again no pipes going any where..thanks

Hi again, had a look at the valve covers and it has a breather cap in both, found a intact manifold pcv valve on ebay, phoned the guy in the US today and he got me to take off the rear intake breather to see if there was a basket under there with mesh in it and there was not so got to order one of them as we'll, ill try and add a photo of the breather removed..thanks all
