Open systems huh

Very nice Viking.

Well thought out, looks great.

Sprit type cars have been running this type set up for years.

Denny Thanks

One thing I would like to add is that be careful where you hook up your PCV for your vacum source. On Fords you sometimes have an opening off one of the runners. That would not be a good idea as now you stand a chance of running that one cylinder lean. Your PCV needs to be hooked to a full time vacum source, but I have been told not to tee it into your vacum brake line, never was given a reason, but I figured it had something with messing with the vacum needed for the brakes, so that was good enough for me.

and as a side note about the size of your PCV

I also had the same issue as Kevyd and have now gone to a pcv valve with great results.Took me a while to figure out,unfortunately I was not a member of this forum at the time.Has kept my rocker covers a lot cleaner and runs just fine.Hence my screen name.Live and Learn.

ETICKET: IN MY EARLIER REPLY I STATED THAT I WAS ONLY RUNNING EDELBROCK BREATHERS WITH WASHABLE FILTERS. IS THIS A BAD IDEA? I DON'T HAVE A PVC HOOK UP.I SAW THE ILLUSTRATION DENNY POSTED (PCV)AND IT LOOKED AWESOME.
