PCV Valve hose replacement?
hey gang, looking to replace my PCV valve hose. I've got a '97 4.6L V8 SOHC, one of the early versions that doesn't have spark plug coils.
Was looking for a replacement PCV valve hose and only found this updated replacement F85Z-6C324-CA but my original part number is F65E-6C324-CA.
Another thread mentioned the new connector doesn't fit. Has anyone else run into this and if so, what is the workaround? This other post said he made a "union" with fuel rated hose but not exactly sure what that entails.

Any tips appreciated!

Check to make sure the PCV valve is snug in the grommet at the valve cover. If not the misc. junk section at the auto parts place will probably have a multi pack of grommets for a few bucks.
It's a 20 something year old truck. Adapt, improvise, overcome. You don't need a rubber hose made by Chicom kids, packaged and transported to the docks by Philipino slave labor, shipped by Korean merchants to Mexico to be packaged up and sold in the US as proud USA Motorcraft quality parts....

Go to local auto parts store (Advance, AutoZone, O'Reilly) buy some fuel line. If your connectors are bad, see how you want to route things, pick up some barbed fittings if they have them. If not, swing by Home Depo on the way home, they have plastic and brass fittings. Cut fuel line to fit where needed.
