Got some work done on my 80 Z28, redone my brake lines last night, I was fortunate enough that some lines were still good to use.

Thats one thing I hate about my car. I can't redo anything. It came with nothing. Might get my lines shortly though.

That's a little less tension, but not much less. It's still enough to wear out the shaft on the carb. I've been through this before and having to toss a good carb due to a worn shaft is irritating.

I tried to figure out how i'm going to run my pcv set-up today. I have one vac port at rear of carb which my brakes go to and I don't want to t off of it. I have a plug in my intake but it is on one runner and I'm not sure I want to put a fitting there as I don't want the crank gases going to one cylinder. There is a small port at the front of carb, for dist. vaccuum?, I think it is too small. Any suggestions. Carb spacer is out because of hood clearance. I noticed there are also a couple pipe plugs at the rear corners of the manifolds<edel air-gap, anyone know if these could be used or are they for water temp senders?

My Edelbrock Torker has a plug in the plenum at the rear, so I piped mine in there, but I wouldn't hesitate to put a Tee in the booster line and run the PCV valve myself. No matter where you get vacuum for it it will have the same effect.
