Default Pcv valve question

Was going to replace the pcv valve on my base 350 engine '72, today. The valve at the parts store was the same size, but the top of it was straight. The valve I'm replacing has a black plastic T on the top and the ends of the T are 2 different sizes. When connected, there are 2 hoses coming off of the T. Do I take the T off of the pcv valve that I have and reuse it, or is there a valve with that T already attached? Parts guy was absolutely no help because it didn't show on his computer.

Hi Dave,
The original pcv on my 71 has a short length of rubber hose that runs from one of the outlets on the plastic tee to the straight nipple on the pvc.
Will that work on yours?
Regards,
Alan

If you have an old pcv valve with a tee fitting or an elbow, you can heat the fitting and it will come off. And, it can be reused elsewhere.

I'm going to try and heat it to see if I can remove it and put it on a new one. If that doesn't work, I'll get a new T and do like Alan. Thanks for the suggestions.
