PCV valve for Edelbrock valve covers

Hi all.

Silly question of the day. I have Edelbrock covers and want to put back in place the pcv valve. I bought the stock standard valve but of course it is to small to go into the covers. The hole in the cover (where the breathers would normally be) is a lot bigger.

Do I need to get a specific pcv for the Edelbrocks or am i missing something?

cheers.

Jonno.

I think you just need a different grommet. PCV valves are pretty much all the same.

Cool.

Got that sorted. Now one more question if I may?

Can I just use a vacuum hose from the pcv valve into the bottom of the carby (manifold vacuum)?

The other valve cover has a edelbrock breather.
