If you do not have a PCV setup, you should have a road draft tube at the top rear of the engine that is piped down to the bottom of the engine compartment to vent the crankcase pressure right? Sombody out there must have a C2 327 with this setup? Anyone got a pic?

Here is my PCV setup... these are Billet Specialties valve covers... with their Billet PCV valve.. you can see the hose going to the large vac port on the back of the carb. The other side has the filler hole with a vent for a cap, AND a baffle on the underside.

*my plug wires have since been nicely organized.... sooo, I dont want to hear it.
