FE/Manifold Location PCV
I have a Blue Thunder intake manifold on an FE 482 block and have to install a PCV.
The question is, where is the best place to route the PCV line coming from the passenger side valve cover.
I will be using an Earl's alum breather on the drivers side valve cover and an Earl's alum breather with integral PCV/an-6 on the passenger.
** There is no rear carb port and I dont have the hood clearance to add a carb plate, even a Boss 302 style.
So I have 2 options:
Do I use the plug on the manifold underneath the rear of the carb...........or drill and tap the cover plate (covers the 1 1/2" rear port - currently has the 5" high FE breather on it) for the fitting.
Additionally, if I use the smaller hole below the carb should I reinstall the rear manifold cover plate to increase vacuum, or can I leave the breather on?
Sorry for the long question, looking for someone who knows or who has already done the experiment so I wont have to, thank you. 
Best, Bret.
