to the valve cover. Its part of the PVC system!

It sucks oil fumes out of the valve cover and burns them in the engine!

just hook up the hose so the vacume from the manifold draws the gasses out

Yes you can put a small filter on the valve cover. Then you would need to cap off the intake port then.

not worth it.

The PCV robs you of hardly any power and those little filters fall apart in about 2 years...and they are expensive!

You engine will run better with it where it should be anyway!

IMHO....do it right!

there are 5 hoses u need to worry about with 86-87 EFI system.

the first 2 are on the far right side, i used a breather first, attacthed to the small black box, that WAS on the stock airbox. but now i just bought a T, and hooked up both lines all the over to my intake pipe (looks worse lol)

the big one is what was already mentioned, it goes to your valve cover. and then there are 2 smaller hoses that come from the mystery vaccum box, just drill like a 5/16 and 3/8 hole in your intake and fit the little tubes in.

btw u dont need to hook up the left side hoses, but car has vaccum issues if u leave the two on the right off..

my big hose from valve cover to intake pipe falls off all the time, and it doesnt hurt function..

there u have it man
