I don't recall seeing a pcv valve on my 283 engine. I will have to take a closer look.
So what happens when I use an aftermarket aluminum intake (using the oil tube in the intake) with the holley carb, while still using the valve covers with no holes? Can I still add the pcv valve somehere on this setup, or do I need one at all? Thanks for your help on this!
