so my own motor has the PCV valve on one side and a closed oil filler cap on the other side. Please note that my engine is not stock - it's a 451 built by a very knowledgeable mopar engine builder and the motor runs great. However, none of the engine experts who have helped me from time to...

I agree on both statements above. I think we're generally both in agreement and getting a little tripped up on lack of complete explanations earlier on. Thanks for carrying on the dialogue. You were saying above "in nearly every case the larger amp always sounded better". So there were some...

much appreciated:) PCV valve typically goes on one valve cover and a vented breather cap goes on the other. Fresh air is drawn into the crankcase of the engine through the vented breather and ends up in the intake manifold via the PCV valve and engine vacuum. The fresh air and any blowby is then...

and in a carb'd engine, the carb is a breather, which explains why my system with no valve cover breather works fine. It sounds like with EFI, the OP will need a breather cap and a PCV valve.

Agree on all of this except the first part which is a bit confusing... put a straw in your mouth and suck (pcv)....... ok, yes, the PCV has a one-way check valve yes? if you plug the other end (breather), you can no longer suck Not sure what you mean here. If you have a breather, the...

The guitar amp analogy does not invalidate the details explained about the car stereo amp and speakers. I was only adding that extra example to further support understanding for others. In the end, it's up to the OP to sift through experiences presented by all of us and then make their own...

just to clarify for us rookies - "double pumper" = mechanical secondary carb, correct? I also have an auto trans 727 and am running a vacuum secondary holley type Quick Fuel carb. A few of my mopar friends run mechanical secondary carbs with their automatic 440's and tell me after trying them...

EDIT - apologies - that was a screen shot of an example and not my actual cap. I've updated my earlier post as well for correction. Even bigger apologies - I just ran down to the garage and looked and my cap is not vented underneath - my memory must be shot. It's flat. So on mine it's just a...

thanks, but I partially disagree. It depends on the car stereo speakers and the external amp. I forgot to say that the external amp I ran was a Concorde with a true 40W RMS, which put out a higher clean Watts than most of the 40W max amps at the time. Before that I tried a 200W amp to power my...

EDIT for correction - no vent holes under cap - On mine I've got a valve cover PCV valve cap like this (with a vacuum hose connecting the PCV 90-degree nipple to manifold vacuum): Compared to this, what's the added benefit of placing the breather on one valve cover and the PCV valve on the...

can you expand on this a bit more? What if it's a breather cap that has a PCV valve built-in installed on one valve cover? Any need to separate the 2?

I run a carb, but have one of the caps with built-in PCV valves installed on one of the valve covers. Not just a breather cap, but with a built-in PCV valve. Not sure if this is a good option or not...

I've run 6x9's in the rear deck with no additional box and the trunk itself does a good job of serving as the box. For mine I used high quality Jensen's rated at 200W and powered them with a 40W amp between the speakers and radio/CD player. It sounded killer and I got compliments all the time...

That's my blue Satellite in the photo holding up traffic...awesome photo. I know you are saying it's the last Willow Springs Mopar fling connected track day, but any chance that discussions with the new track owner will take place and an annual or bi-annual mopar track day will continue or have...

and even though it's a Plymouth, Al called it "The Mighty Dodge!" In one episode it goes through the car wash and he can't find his car because the paint color has changed - it used to look brown, but it turns out the brown was dirt and the actual color is red! haha
