I was going to replace my pcv today and I could not find it(it's not there). So I ran my vacuum lines and found it connected to to my vacuum brakes set up. I want to put a pcv back on but I don't know were to start. I can post more pics if needed. I'm also planning on replacing all my vacuum lines

Put a new Delco PCV valve in there (the one mentioned above), and buy the correct vacuum block from one of the vendors (like Brian at GBodyparts) that has the 3/8" vacuum fitting on the drivers side for your brakes. Then you will run one vac to the PCV and one to the brakes. That is the right way to route it.

Oil could be coming from valve covers, intake gasket, etc, especially if the crankcase isn't breathing (since the PCV was capped). Chances are you could have pushed out a gasket with high crankcase pressure.

Change your PCV Valve Grommett on Intake Manifold
Would be a good idea to pick up a new PCV grommett from Dennis @ Kirbans while you're replacing things. Looks like yours is leaking pretty good, probably cracked and dried out. It's a cheap fix.:wink:

Good idea Dave!Just hope he dont drop a piece of that hard rubber in the motor
Even if he does it should sit on the valley pan but try not to drop in any rubber, crud etc.

But, not all gaskets have the valley pan.

True, but that thing looks pretty stock & the stock 86-87 had the Victor Reinze valley pan gasket. Either way, take time when removing it & wash all the crud off first.

Oh yeah, definitely. I usually try to clean everything off, shop vac it, etc to make sure nothing falls down into the engine.

What is the story on the vacuum brake setup? Never saw a master cylinder split system like that?
Suggestion, get the plastic cap that goes on the alternator stud on the back of it. You WILL eventually hit that with a wrench and start arc welding.
Is that an old style blow off valve on the up pipe??
