Default PVC valve issue?
Stock '76:

I tuned the o'le q-jet and timed the engine tonight, but when i went to put the aircleaner assembly back on, the engine ran like crap. The problem came when I hooked the line from the side of the carb to the assembly. Is this a bad PVC valve? Just a thought. Any help? The engine was running fine before, and when I take the line off of the assembly it runs great.

When you shake the PCV valve, does it rattle?

Also double check and make sure you put everything back on the same way you took it off.
