the PVC goes to the base of the carb not the intake manifold. And you shouldn't be getting that much oil in it anyway. Another trick to that is put a fuel filter on the hose to baffle the fumes.

So that PCV valve is sucking oil, all of which is going in to the intake valve on the number 8 cylinder. Explains why I am fouling plugs out in 30 miles on that car...

: Thanks for making me think about this 74Merc. You may have just solved this mystery.

: : back of the carb, back of the intake? where?

: : : Right where it is supposed to be, firewall end of the p.s. valve cover...
