350 PCV valve question
Pretty rookie question, but then again... I'm new to this.
On my SBC 350 valve covers, is it better to do two breather caps? (one on each side) or one breather cap and a PCV valve back to the carb? It's a '72 SBC 350, bored .30 over with an otherwise stock build, with Edelbrock Performer intake and carb. Thanks |

One breather. One PVC on opposite side, going to the carb or intake.

Re: 350 PCV valve question
You absolutely need a pcv valve. Without it the engine will sludge up inside and turn the oil into a milkshake. Basically the pcv pulls the moisture and combustion gasses out of the engine. Pcv on one corner and the breather on the opposite corner allows for good air flow and will clear all the bad stuff out.

Re: 350 PCV valve question
Yes indeed. The more worn the engine, the more blow by, the more important a properly working PCV system.
