PCV valve on a 304 motor

[grunt]

I have a Edelbrock carb and performer intake manifold. Where do I put a PCV valve at? I know the valve covers have no area for a "push in" type like a chevy 350. Thanks.

Unless I'm missing something the pcv valve goes in the valve cover and the hose will go to the vac. fitting on the bottom of the carb.

they should have a hole in atleast one of em with a grommet for the pcv valve

Since my engine is out, I snapped a picture of the back where the PCV grommet and valve goes. Mine's a 401 but it's the same Edelbrock manifold for all the AMC V8 engines. Mine doesn't have EGR and yours might so that may look slightly different.

The big empty hole next to the water outlet back there is where the grommet goes. The PCV valve then just pushes in to the grommet hole.

Appreciate the replys. The valve covers have no hole for a PCV valve....

OK, so the PCV valve goes in the manifold intake in the rear. Thanks derf...

Hey derf up and to the left there is a tower thing coming out of the manifold. In the pic there are some washers sitting next to it.

What the heck is that I was looking at my Holly street dominator that i plan to use with my Tuned Port Injection swap and I could figure out what that is for??????

The throttle cable bracket is mounted to the risers.

Like CJ said, that is a mounting boss for the throttle cable bracket. You can see the bracket bolted to the top of it. If you like I can take off the throttle bracket and bolt it on to the Holley Street Dominator manifold I have ready to go into my J10. That way you can see how it mounts.

Again, not sure where I came up with this but here is the AMC V8 diagram.

I snapped a couple of pictures of mine to show you. There are 2 sets of holes in the bracket. I use the other set when I attach it to the Edelbrock manifold, as you can see by the wear marks in the paint on the holes. With the Holley, the mounting points are closer to the plenum opening and would interfere with the carburetor if you used the same holes as the Edelbrock uses. I'm betting that there are two different mounting positions between factory 2bbl and 4bbl manifolds and they just use the one bracket for both.

If you look closely in the second picture, you can see under the bracket that the vacuum port is covered. You'll either need to plug that port or find a 90 degree fitting to put there to be able to use it. Considering that there are two more ports on the other side, a plug may work well there.

Though you may have a different bracket that clears that port just fine.

I was going through boxes today and found the grommet and PCV valve...

Edelbrock makes 2 versions of the Performer Intake Manifold
You can get ERG or Non_ERG (with and without a PVC)
