    Hey Guys , I,m putting the finishing touches on my Maverick and discovered I have no place to put my PCV hose on the Holley I have . My Eldebrock manifold has a large port for power brake booster . Can I run my PCV valve to this port or would that cause a lean condition ?

    You can still run the PCV straight to the intake runner if you need to. It would be better to the bottom side of the carb as far as distribution goes, but it's no biggie which it goes to. Ford sometimes routed the PCV hose to a tube that split to two intake runners (on FE big blocks) Just as long as it's going to full manifold vacuum it'll be fine.

    Thanks for that thought too . I thought I had run the PCV to the brake booster port on another motor I put together ,but that was LONG ago and I found myself over thinking it . I found the devil is in the details :hmmm:

    Never tee the PCV to the brake booster

    Thanks , on the motor I was talking about there were no power brakes , as I recall , I just used that port on the manifold . Can that still lean out the fuel mixture or is there another problem ?

    It shouldn't, unless you've got excessive blowby. It wouldn't hurt to check the mixture (I read the spark plugs) afterwards if you want the optimum from your motor.
