PCV questions

Okay, I have two questions about the PCV valve. First, I had to get a new one recently because the guy at Jiffy Lube said my engine was coughing oil onto my air filter. He even showed me the air filter, and man, that thing was a mess. So I bought a new PCV valve at his suggestion. Now:

1. How the heck do I find the PCV valve without using a Haynes book? Mine hasn't arrived yet from Ebay.

2. The brand of the valve is Deutsch Precision Filters. Is this a good brand?

Thanks!

follow the small black hose from the bottom of the air box, the pcv goes into the other end and then into the valve cover.
it's ok, i've never had problems with them

I should also point out that I drive an '89 3.0L, just to avoid confusion.

you will find the pcv valve if you take off the engine cover inside the car. Left hand side just pull it out and replace.

Thanks for the directions, found the PCV valve in no time, pretty easy install too! It's a good thing I finally changed it, now I know why my air vents would occasionally spit oil out.
