Michael: The PCV valve is under the manifold in-line between the cap and pushlok at the manifold. Different size lines ensure the PCV valve is correctly oriented. As for where I got the cap, it was on shelves in my stack of stuff. All I know it is a Ford something, probably off a mid '70s Cleveland or M-series engine.

Cobrabill: I was thinking about using a puke tank, but with a hidden PCV valve in the system. Then I reconsidered: Why put all that excessive junk in the system when a little old PCV valve will pull a vacuum, albeit small, on the crankcase to evacuate corrosive vapors, keep oil mist off the rocker covers at the breathers and reduce overall weight and complexity. That little old "stinking PCV" valve does the job.
