I installed the PCV valve by tapping in to the manifold with 1/8" NPT barbed
angle fittings per Frank's suggestion. One on each manifold side, 1/4" hose
y'd into a 1/2" hose. The Y restricts the flow down to about 1/8" each
side. Now when I try to accelerate hard the engine sputters with no power
until I let off the gas and SLOWLY accelerate. Even then, the top end
performance seems lacking. Does this mean that I'm PCV-ing too much? I've
heard several listers mention a nut in the hose to restrict; what size nut
and where does it go? Are all PCV's about the same, or should I try a
smaller one? I used a Hastings that the parts place crossed from Napa
2-9254. It fits into 1/2 hose on the manifold side and 5/8 hose on the sump
side. Thanks again for all the help.
