the pcv valve is on the intake manifold, close to the head between 2 runners.

yeah, get under the car to pull the hose off the bottom or you'll probably break the pcv valve. ive done before myself.

yeah, i got it, and the new totally didnt match so i brought it back and the matching one wont be in until tomorrow, so i had to just put it back in and do it all over again tomorrow. :rant: its good practice though lol hopefully she'll run better with one thats not totally clogged up, along with the new distributor, plugs, and wires i put on today :goodjob: thanks for the help green91
