PCV "ground" cable
I have changed my PCV to the LS6 version while also making my own 4 corner steam plumbing. I used ICT billet pieces on each corner with brass barbs. The issue is the ICT parts are held in place with a counterbored socket head screw, the hole is too small for the factory bolt/stud. This leaves me no way to attach the short cable piece that is part of the factory PCV valve. What exactly is the purpose of the cable and do I really need it? TIA

Keeps the PCV valve from freezing due to the heat transfer from the cable…I see you’re in Florida…you probably don’t need it !!

I am moving back to Michigan, however I will not drive it when there is a chance of snow and more importantly salt on the roads. It have never seen either and I plan on keeping it that way.
