Some problems...

hey has anyone of you guy's trucks had problems when you unistalled the little "plumbing" system (i dont no what its called) when u put on a chrome air breather instead of stock, it was somthing to prime the carb so it starts better, but now mine most days plane doesnt start


BTW got new pics of the little 390 in gallery

the pcv valve is that what you are talking about. if so it plugs to a full vaccuum port. you must have a vaccuum leak or something

Are you talking about the metal assembly that mounts on the exhaust manifold and goes up to the breather snout?
