PCV Valve Location ???

Hey guys, I am trying to find my PCV valve and my chiltons book is not helping me very good. It says its near the #4 intake runner. I am not seeing it anywhere. The engine is a 1990. Any help would be appreciated.

If it's like mine, it is at the rear of the valve cover. I never saw it, just changed it by feel.

Just found it. If anybody else has problems locating it, look for a rubber hose coming out of the the intake manifold on the passenger side enterneath the #3 and #4 intake runners. Follow that hose towards the rear about 8 inches and you will find it. Many thanks to Gamma Driver. I found mine and it was clogged full of junk and didn't work.

Edit: Oops, posted this while he was looking for it:Edit

You are very welcome sir, but I just looked (after posting) to try to take a digital picture for ya, and I couldn't see the darned thing from either side of the truck! plan to grope and feel, feel and play, get all dirty.

Find a PCV-sized hose, and follow it toward the side of the valve-cover. Pull it out, think about cutting 1/2" off of the hose to get it to fit snugly, change the PCV (using the blocking plastic plug if need be), grope and feel to put it back in.

almost sounds naughty, yet painful, doesn't it?


Best,
