Re: 1967 gmc
So can I block that hose if I run a breather on the valve cover?

Re: 1967 gmc
Should be O.K.. The PCV valves are under the valve covers, so you have to allow fresh air into the crankcase. Most V-6's have the can with the small filter in it behind the left head. On California 'closed' systems, the can was replaced with a pipe to the air cleaner. Later on (about '68 and up) the hole where the can or pipe attached was blocked off with a freeze plug and a breather was added to one of the valve covers, usually with a hose to the air cleaner. The filter in the can, pipe to the air cleaner, and breather on the valve cover all do the same thing: they let air into the crankcase.

On mine all I have is a breather on the cover. Works fine.

What I would do is update the system to a 62 305D where one PCV valve was used that ran in back from the carburetor to the rear filter and eliminate the road draft tube.

Peter, what year did they start putting the PCV valves in the heads? |
Re: 1967 gmc
I would say it was 1963 with the introduction of the 305E, I know the biggest difference between the 305D vs the 305E was the emissions equipment.
