Pcv and Vacuum lines
I recently install a Holley 670 avenger on a zz4 crate motor but there's not enough vacuum ports on the carb can I combine the pcv valve with any other vacuum lines without causing a problem with oil contamination of the vacuum system? thanks, hjgator

I think the only things that should be pulling vacuum through the carb are your PCV valve and your vacuum advance. Everything else should be on manifold vacuum. I guess it might also depend on what emission stuff you are running.

Okay, exactly how many vacuum ports are on your carb? The previous poster stated there should be one for the PCV and one for the vacuum advance. How about the fitting on the intake manifold? If you need more ports you can get a multi ported manifold fitting. I would not tee into the hose with the pcv valve because of oil can be sucked into the carb.

You could use the full manifold port. Is there a port/plug in the manifold? that would be a better choice for the other systems that need vacuum- headlights and HVAC. Like Oldguard pointed out- pulling oil into the carb is possible. And a T in the brake booster is not a great idea- headlights coming on at the same time you need the brakes and it could slow down the response from both.

I agree...thats how I have mine set up...and some years came from the factory this way. You can get the T that directly fits the PCV valve. I get trans and accessories off the manifold port, not off the carb. If there is no port accessible on the manifold, for your setup I would suggest.
Use front PCV port for PCV and EVAP
Use brake port for brake booster.
T off the full manifold for Vac Adv lights and accessories.

, kind of a dumb question. I suspect some of the usual suspects carry the actual ports let alone the pipe thread taps.
