follow the hoses, i believe on that year it's on the drivers side, at the rear-side of the engine. it's not really that difficult. it is a little hidden though.

I'll keep looking until I find it.. I bought a new one but still cant find anything on there that looks like it matches.. being on the driver side its not connected directly to the valve cover right?

I have an 87 Ranger and had the same problem. Check the hoses that are directly behind your alternator that is where mine was located.

My 86 has its PCV right around the distributor area on the driver side. The valve itself looks like a splice connector of 3 rubber hoses.
