Default pcv question...

I am running a Holley Ultra 750 and I have the PCV to the front vac nipple of the carb. I just removed the PCV valve and I have gas in the vac line (!?). Im wondering if I can run the PCV off the brake booster line (manifold vac) instead of using the base of the carb?

Yes, you can run your PVC from that rear 3/8" diameter nipple along with the brake booster just like I have for many years.

Are you sure it's Gas? Are you using the 3/8" port that is attached to the front of the base plate? (Some Holley's have these and some do not.) If the answer to both is yes, something is wrong! If you are using a port on the carb body then yes switch to the rear port. I hate tapping the brake booster port but sometimes you got to.
