    picked up a used holley yesterday. needs a rebuild but everything looked ok. after looking it over with a diagram pic i saw in one of the threads on here, i have noticed that the pcv hose connector has broken off with the threaded piece still screwed in. any tips on how to fish that thing out?

    If its broken flush maybe you can drive a chisel into it, not splitting tight, and turn the handle..
