The pcv is not hooked up, i just have a breather there because the new carb does not have a vac port for the pcv valve.

Oh and since the new carb, the engine has been getting really hot really fast, the fans keep it cool but it gets hotter a lot faster than it ever did. and it seems like it might be too hot. i cant give you a temp readout because the gauge is messed up. Maybe its because its actually running correctly??

Thank for the input guys

the PCV valve helps with keeping oil in the motor ( front and rear seals ) how it works is the PCV creates a negative on the back side of the seals and when you disconnect it ( THE PVC ) some motors with 100 thousand miles will leak pretty good in some cases -- you will need to find another way to conect it to the manifold if their is no power brakes in the car -- jz
