Question ( Another ) Stupid newbie question

Here goes, my latest stupid question. Have a '91 150 w/302. Where is the PCV valve? Don't see it anywhere. Found the breather tube to the air filter, but no PCV valve. Bought one at The Zone & was going to put it in, couldn't find it. What am I missing? Have no trouble finding replacing the one on my cop car ( '01 ) w/4.6 V-8. This is the 1st time I ever lost one. Hope this is the right section, wasn't sure if it should go here or under the small block section.

No PCV valve on the other end. Hose plugs straight into valve cover. Has the end on it to fit the grommet. Other end clips on to the air filter box.

If memory serves, it's on the back portion of the passenger side valve cover, hiding under the intake....

Under the intake? Does that mean I'd have to pull the intake to replace it? Don't remember a lot of room under the intake. This new-fangled fuel injection kinda lays across the top of the engine if I remember right.

Thanks everybody. Sorry for the stupid newbie question, but I couldn't see it. Found the breather tube ( had to replace what was left of the filter ). Couldn't figure out where the PCV valve was.

Don't know, it's in the shop at tech school right now. Won't be back for probably 2 - 3 weeks. Will check then.

PCV valve goes into the passenger side valve cover(red arrow)and connects to the circled hose on the upper intake.

Hope you have an easier time changing yours than I did. Really tough time getting my hand back there and putting the new one in. Swore I'd never touch it again.

Think I just figured out why my replies weren't showing up. Was using the wrong reply. This is my third attempt to reply. 1st, Conanski, thanks for the picture. At least now I know where it is. HOLY S**T Batman, are you SURE you don't have to pull the manifold? No way Jose. My fat fingers wouldn't fit even IF I could suck up my gut to get back there. Have a buddy I think I can trick ( sorry, did I say that out loud? Meant to say TALK ) into doing it. He's a good guy, but suffers from that dread disease, blowtie-itis. Have tried to help him, but nothing can be done.
