I don't like drilling holes in original parts, possibly a custom oil fill cap with a PCV hose fitting in the center.

What are your thoughts?
I'm thinking something like this:

I don't know it this one will work. I would need to research this. It also seems to me that the later model V6 had this type of cap (or something similar) or maybe it was the Chevy that had it, I don't remember. Maybe someone else in the group know something about this.

Looks like a nice cap, although not cheap. Wonder if these have a built-in PCV 'regulator' with a ball that controls the stream of gasses. The question section does have some measurements regarding fitment.

I didn't know these had an internal PCV setup. I guess you learn something new everyday. I am just now getting into these old engines and I'm starting to love them and trying to learn more about them. So im watching more then knowing on these engines lol

Thanks!

I'm running the 4bbl 4150 Sniper on my 60 GMC with the 305. I converted it over about 4-5 years ago and never looked back. Once you get the learn procedure completed and do a few tuning tweaks, it works great. Definitely invest the progressive linkage add on though. The throttle is really touchy without it.

Regarding pcv valve, I switched mine over to Ford setup used in the seventies. Don't remember exact application, but it shouldn't be too hard to find. Ford used them on their v8's. I was uncomfortable with middle cylinders running leaner under the original GMC factory system.

Hope that helps.

I like your solution. Tried the external PCV setup before but didn't succeed. Going to try it with a PCV valve on intake vacuum. I assume that is what you connected the hose to?
