- The bolt that holds the vent tube onto the block goes through the grommet and threads into the block. I have a 283 with this set-up, the tube was squashed so I ran a stainless overbrade hose clamped

- Is there anything desirable (other than eliminating the road tube) about PCV? Isn't it essentially recirculating blow-by back into the intake? I would think that is undesirable, other than from a smo
