New User Posts: 4 | 56 New Yorker w/ stock 354 Hemi - would like to convert to a PVC setup using Hot Heads P/N 29194 on the stock valley pan to replace the road draft setup and a set of breathers P/N 80506 on the valve covers. My question is do I need to do anything different with the oil fill tube cap which is the stock type breather cap? Thanks for the help. | ||

Expert Posts: 3746 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: NorCal | I've always been leery of just drilling a hole in the VC's or valley cover and popping in a grommet to hold the PCV valve. Most factory installations using that setup have a baffle beneath the hole to prevent thrown-off oil from being sucked directly into the valve opening. | ||

I replaced the steel wool looking stuff in the oil fill cap with a cut down lawn mower air cleaner, & ran the PCV hose up to the Edelbrock carb.Most factory installations using that setup have a baffle beneath the hole to prevent thrown-off oil from being sucked directly into the valve opening. | ||

Look at this link. 56d500boy has been working on this conversion and there are a lot of thoughts on how to make the conversion and design issues discussed and explained. This is a good place to start for you car since Dave is making a conversion on a 56 dodge also. | ||
