Well, today, in my ongoing quest to fix the obvious (on my '82 F-150 with 302 from unknown year) something smacked me upside the head and reminded me that I never changed the PCV since I've had the truck and knowing the previous owner, it may not have been changed while he owned it. It took me a second to find it because I was expecting an elbow or F connector. What I found was a hose that looked like it was going directly into the valve cover. When I pulled it up, sure enough, there was the PCV. I've never quite seen one exactly like it. Instead of having an elbow or joint of any kind, it just has a piece of barbed metal extending directly vertical out of it and the hose goes over that. Is this some kind of ancient PCV or does it imply that this 302 came from later back than I figured. I know how to decode the casting number, but I don't know where on the block it is so the year of the engine remains unknown.
Also, on an F Connector PCV, what does the second connector go to? I've got a few extra vacuum lines (that somebody just stuck plugs in) that I don't know where they belong (if anywhere anymore) and I was wondering if one might perchance belong on there. I'm used to PCVs with a single elbow or an F connector with the top plugged up.
Hope I didn't throw y'all off course with all that random info, but I didn't know any better way of putting it all.
