I have a correct freshley restored Holley List 3839 for my 67 396/350 that I am getting ready to put on. The question is that the throttle base plate has a 5/8 inlet for the pcv rather than the 3/8 nipple. Is there a 5/8 adapter for the pcv valve, or is there a 3/8 nipple that I can add to the base plate ? Isn't the 3/8 inch hose correct for the pcv ?

What is the correct way to procede ?

Thanks

The R3839 is for A.I.R. I'm not familiar with the baseplate of the 3839, but are you sure you're not trying to connect the PCV hose to the A.I.R. connection?

Thanks Dale for responding,

Yep the 5/8 Boss is for the A.I.R system. My El Camino is a California vehicle, that doesn't have the A.I.R. anymore, so it didn't hit me that the 5/8 inlet was for that system. Feeling a little silly for not catching that point, but still learning as I go.

Thanks again.
