427 8v PCV question
By Mike K - 02/12/2003 7:38:39 PM; IP 68.160.59.60
I am ditching the tunnel wedge that has been on the engine for something more streetable. I have bought a blue thunder medium riser and I had a question about PCV/Power Brake hookups. The tunnel wedge had no vacuum ports so I had been using a spacer plate vacuum source for all needs. (pony carbs rebuilt the bc/bd combo and recommended ditching the spacers)

Now that I have the new manifold it has all kinds of vacuum ports on it (base of rear carb + 3 others). What should be hooked up where? I am thinking about the PCV to port at the base of the rear carb but was wondering if this has higher vacuum and would be better for PDB. Also, it has the metal basket at the rear of the intake - should this be involved some how? As of now it looks like its not hooked up to anything - just a vent. As always, thanks for the help. Mike
